She had a full and active life with numerous talents, which she shared with family and friends.
Mary and Bob Risk were among the first (referred to as Pioneers) to live at Willow Valley Retirement Communities where she volunteered and developed many friends. Mary was small in stature, always dressed as a lady, but could be feisty and funny, as well as supportive. She was admired and loved by her family, who were always amazed by her great age. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten. She was an example to us all. Services will be at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Mary’s memory to Memory Care Center, payable to Willow Valley Communities Charitable Fund, 100 Willow Valley Lakes Drive, Willow Street, PA 17584. reynoldsandshivery.com.
