Why Mary Wakelee Waldron was the person that she was -
by her Husband, J. Bernie Waldron.

During Irene Waldrons stay in a nursing home, Mary Wakelee, her best friend, visited her often bringing her flowers and candy. Although her time was occupied by taking care of Lloyd, her husband, she still had time for Irene. I tell you this because both Irene and Lloyd died the same year due to complications from Alzheimers. Mary and my friendship continued after the deaths of our spouses and on 22, 2006 we were married. Marys story continues here!


Mary was born in Ironwood, Michigan, and the youngest of nine children, three girls and six boys. It was a difficult life living in a town where most of the men worked in an iron ore mine. To assist her mother financially Mary, as a child, delivered newspapers for seven long years. Like the mailmen of the time, she delivered through rain, sleet, or snow. She managed to save pennies even though her one brother wanted her to give him money for cigarettes.


There were few opportunities in Ironwood, Michigan, and upon graduation from high school, along with her brothers, Mary sought her future elsewhere. With the aid of her brother, Mary attended Beauty School in Chicago. She was a determined student and upon graduation she was entered into a hair dressers contest in Chicago.


The morning of the contest, Mary went to church and prayed for guidance and courage. She, with 300 other contestants, performed in front of many judges. Mary was selected as the number one contestant. It took two men to carry the winning trophy to the stage. I promised Mary not to tell about this part of her life but, I don think she would mind now.


Mary worked several years in a beauty parlor but soon longed to have a place of her own. She was approached by the husband of one of her clients and together they built two multi-story buildings, with a court yard between, in a newly developed area. She worked seven days a week, reordered supplies, balanced the books, and readied the salon for the next weeks business on weekends. She built a very successful business. The rentals from the other units in her building soon paid off the construction mortgage.


In 1986, Mary decided it was time to retire. She sold her business and moved to Sun City West, Arizona.


In spite of her success Mary was a kind and loving person. Her beauty and charm brightened the hearts of everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her. Her whole life was built around caring of others. A few of her written quotes were: Seek beauty in nature and other humans, Notice the goodness and beauty in everyone you meet, find the good everywhere and in everyone you meet, ell at least two people why you e grateful for them., seek opportunities to offer that which uplifts others. This is what made Mary the person that she was.

The love and respect that Mary shared with others in her personal life is now receiving the Lords personal love and respect in her death. We will miss her!

Eulogy

by

Katherine Hemmens

There was something about Aunt Mary. Always! When she entered a room the atmosphere changed; she lit up the room. One couldn look at her without smiling. It was always that way. For a time, when she was excited about something, she would exclaim, "Ooo La La" in a dramatic fashion. We were all delighted with her style. But, that shimmering style was anchored in something deeper; deep devotion to God and her fellow humans. She was such an example for us. She worked from the inside out; meaning she developed a core of love, joy and gratitude and let it flow out, from within, to the rest of us.
She was our beacon of positive mental attitude before it was "en vogue."


I was looking through some of her old writings, and these are thoughts or mantras she told herself:
• I feel good
• I feel healthy
• Im feeling relaxed and calm.
• Im loving and accepting myself as I am.
• Im finding the goodness and beauty everywhere, and in everyone.
• Silence is medicine
• I am expanding the level of appreciation for all of my life.
• Pause, and praise other peoples abilities.
• I assume I am already in the process of healing.

She was lovely and kind. I am grateful to have known her. She was gift to us all.

A Memorial, is a time of remembrance, a sharing of special memories and today I would like to share with you my memories of:

Mary Wakelee Waldron

My wife Karen and I come to Arizona in the winter time to escape the rain and cold of Seattle and Bernie is my mothers brother. We didn know Mary that long but she had a knack for building memories quickly.

I remember walking with her into the Heritage dining room and her ability to personally greet everyone there and bring joy to them by recalling pieces of personal information about each. She always demonstrated that she cared.

I remember our outings to Spring Training baseball games which she looked forward to with great anticipation. She would get to the park ready to enjoy the whole experience from cheering the team to eating the peanuts and throwing the shells on the ground (thats what you do at a baseball game).

I remember the pleasure she took in recounting her continued...
