MARY YANKE (CULLEN)

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• I wanted to send my condolences. Recently I had two dreams about Mary and so I reached out to her on Facebook to try to reconnect. After I didn't receive I reply I did a search that lead me to this obituary. Mary was such a kind, lovely, gentle and elegant woman. She was always so sweet to me and I have nothing but fond memories. May her memory always be a blessing to your family.

• I remember Susan’s mom was so nice to me when I visited Susan’s house when I was a kid and on Halloween she would ask us to come in and sing a song before we got treats. She was a nice Mom. My condolences and only just saw the obituary so sorry for late comments. Anne - Posted by: Anne Toth (nee Cotton) (Susan’s friend in school) on: Jun 17, 2022

• My sincere condolences to you Pat and John. You are such a good daughter to Mary. I first met Mary many years ago at Caddy Lake Girl Guide Camp. She was my daughter’s first camping guider. Mary was a grandmother to all the little campers and made them feel safe. I cherish the friendship she gave me. She taught me how to be a good caring leader, person and friend.
