This is a terrible sadness. Peace and understanding to Mary's family and friends. Mary was - and how finite it is to speak in the past tense so soon - a tireless community activist, a Challenger, and a joyous spirit.

This is such sad news. It was a privilege to be welcomed into Mary’s home with such warmth. To me, she is a star who still shines.
My sincere condolences to her friends and family.

Shocked and filled with sadness.
We will remember the warm welcome of a warm and welcoming woman.

Our sincere condolences to her friends and family.

what a terrible tragedy - it was a lovely highlight to my day stopping & having tea & cake at her house. Such happenings are hard to comprehend

Many thanks for your kind words and sentiments.

Marys funeral takes place on Friday 16th August 2013. There will be a private burial for the family followed by a church service which will commence at 1pm for those that wish to attend. The service will be at Christ's Church, Smannell, Andover, SP11 6JH.

Thanks again.
