Matthew Kuhn of Alexandria, DeAnna (Michael) Parks of Missouri; grandchildren, Daniella, Meghan, Natalie and Justin; 10 siblings, Deacon John (Judy) Wolak, Terese (Rick) Gillitzer, Ralph Wolak, Elizabeth Andreucci (Ralph Massenberg), Mark (Julie) Wolak, Giles Wolak, Margi Mattfeld, Eva (Richard) Reed, Amy (Russell) Jowers, Roseann Wolak (Michael Gass); and many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and two miscarried children, John and Ann.

Dear Greg and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of Mary. I was attending a retreat at Central Minnesota Koinonia (CMK) at the TEK Center. I was giving a talk and used Messages from Heaven as an example of how much God loves us. Then I heard of her passing. We prayed for your family all through the retreat. On May 22, I was helping with the National Eucharist Pilgrimage in Mora and submitted my whole day to your family. I read passages from Messages from Heaven during every one of my Adoration hours. Our parish had just received a new copy of it for our library, and I will treasure the much-used book forever. It helped me get through the sudden loss of my husband in December 2022. Thank you all, for helping us get to Heaven.
Extending my sympathy to the family on the loss of their Wife, Mother and grandmother. The funeral mass was beautiful.
With deepest sympathy to your family from ours. I remember the Bible studies you had at your home in Goldenwood and enjoyed them thoroughly. We still miss you. May God‘s loving arms surround you and your family at this difficult time. See you in heaven.
Love and prayers 🙏🤗
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. May God Comfort and Bless You.
Condolences from the Rauk Family on the passing of your mom. I have begun reading her books, and appreciate them so much. Our hearts ache for you in your sorrow. Prayers for Mary and her family on her journey to be with our Savior.
We had the privilege of meeting Mary and Greg when the came to speak at our parish of St. Hubert, Bluegrass. Once you met them it was like you were family. Mary touched many lives with the “Messages From Heaven” and she will continue to advocate for all of us as she meets her beloved Jesus, the Blessed Mother and the Holy Family. Rest in Peace Mary, until we meet again! Hugs and Prayers for Greg, Fr. Aaron, Fr. Matt, DeAnn and family.
Consider yourself blessed if you knew Mary. She was always a symbol of God’s love and kindness and goodness on this earth. She quietly and humbly did God’s work while never seeking any recognition for herself. Then add the teamwork of she and Greg and there was a duo for the Lord unlike any other. Our sympathy to her wonderful family! Mary, all that knew you loved you and will miss you! Well done, good and faithful servant!
Much prayers the family, and thankfulness for Mary’s devotion to faith and family.
“Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[a] Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” John 11:24-27
Soli Deo Gloria
