Our sincere sympathy to you all. Mary was truly one of the sweetest kindest women I have ever know. She would always stop and say hello whenever I saw her. I had such a lovely visit with her years ago when I stopped by for the afternoon. I will always remember Mary walking down the main street of Dresden and visiting with everyone! Wonderful memories of an amazing women.

Dear Marian, Frank, Martin and families,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss of your mom (grandmother).
Photos added were a request from Eva Gotzova, who took the photos 2 years ago, when we visited in the summer. Eva and Pepa send their condolences.
It was a blessing and a privilege for us to see Aunt Mary and all of you at that time.
May you find consolation in the love of those close to you, and in the thoughts of those who love you and are not able to be with you at this time.
Lydia, Chris, and families

Dear Lillian & Stranak Family,
I am sad to hear the news about your dear Mary who is now in God’s heavenly
home with Tony.
I remember her big warm smile & her bright sparkling eyes when she came to
St Anthony’s Church. Yes, faith, family/friends & her Czech Heritage were dear
to her heart. She was a kind friend to my parents Mary & Joe Mojzis.
Your video is beautiful. I recognize faces of Czech people. The music is lovely.
Her well lived life, her legacy of love lives on in your families
May the peace of the Risen Lord be with you.

Marian, Brady and family: Our deepest condolences as you mourn Mary. Our family has many fond memories of times together and meals and treats around the Stranak family table. Mary was always a gracious host and her baking skills are memorable, like the lemon cream puffs she made in support of the Dresden girls hockey team bake sales. During these Covid downtimes, we have been organizing photos and just this week organized our 1992 wedding photos, that included a beautiful carrot cake, created by Mary, Marian and Brady. Mary was very much a part of our small family gathering as we celebrated our wedding with those we held close and special to us.
Love and hugs,
Janice Vansickle and John Martens and the extended family of Lula Vansickle.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. When we first moved into the Dresden area, in 1979, she warmly welcomed me into St. Michael's church. Her smile was so contagious. It has been a number of years since we moved from that church but I will always remember Mary. The community will never forget her.
