Going through photos for Mom’s obituary we found this great one of her and my dad (Robert Whitermore) in Africa. Rest in peace, Mom. We love you.

Going through more pictures and couldn’t think of a better place for lots of people to see them. These give a glimpse of many happy memories. Please add any of your own!

Dear Whitermore Family, I read with deep regret the passing of Mary. Bob and Judy I knew of her through working with your Dad Bob and working with your Uncle, Bob Schlicter. My direct encounter with Mary came at the time I was doing a job at the Whitermore home. My memory of her was of a generous and kind person with an easy smile and demeanor. My wife, Judith and I both offer our sincere condolences to the family. Bob and Judith Clarke
I am so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Bob worked for years for my Family, laying Mercer tile in our homes. He soon became part of our family, I would consider him a surrogate grandfather. We were lucky enough then of course to become a part of Mary’s life. She would have us over every Christmas Eve to celebrate with them and the Nakashima’s. I loved those nights. I loved them both so much, kind, sweet souls. Mary was kind enough to have me come sit with Bob before he passed away And that meant the world to me. I will always treasure my memories with them and I’m so blessed I have the opportunity to know such wonderful people. Cara Budaj
