She worked as a dental hygienist before starting a new career as a realtor with Fladland Real Estate and later Crary Real Estate. She retired in 2009.
Mary loved God above all else, and delighted in His creations throughout her lifetime. She had a special place in her heart for Maui and the humpback whales. She also treasured her time at Lake Lida, trolling on the pontoon, and watching the birds and sunsets. Mary and Jerry traveled annually, often visiting family and friends. Even more than chocolate, Mary loved and cherished her children and grandchildren. Despite her feisty exterior, it was no secret how much love Mary had for the children who God placed in her care. She was a spectacular soprano, and is surely an amazing addition to God's angel choir.
Mary is survived by her husband, Jerry; children, Matt Honea of Minneapolis, MN, Sarah (Joe) Ring of Fargo; grandchildren, Jessica, Taylor and Jacob and a brother, Robert Kittle of Grand Forks.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, James.
