Mary enjoyed dancing, playing dominoes and card games of all variety. She quickly learned to play bridge with a group of Siloam ladies. She was a competitive opponent for anyone who wished to take her on and a stickler for game rules. Mom loved to join in the activities and outings from the senior center. During her time on earth, she embraced Arkansas living with joy and contentment, happy to share companionship with everyone she met. She loved old western movies and reading romance novels. She enjoyed music, attending festivals and listening to the best of guitar and fiddle musicians. She was known to join two bowling leagues at once. Mary considered her Mother’s Day weekend trips to Eureka Springs and Branson to be sweet moments spent with family. She retired from Seiscor/Raytheon Technologies after 28 years of service, working as a P.C.B. assembler. Mary was well loved and respected by her friends and coworkers at Raytheon Technologies. A private family and friends memorial will be held at a later date. To sign the online obituary, please visit: www.wassonfuneralhome.com
