As a former customer and client at Mary’s store in Greene, I can still envision her, sttanding behind the counter.  I can also see that large smile and her great laugh.  Over the years it was always very apparent how much Mary’s family meant to her as she frequently talked about her children as well as her hopes to be a grandmother someday.  One distinct memory I have, from the same year she was closing her store, was when Mary shared how she had found her biological mother but was too late to meet her.  While my heart panged for her, I could tell how much it all meant to her and she was still content.  I am not surprised that geneology played such a huge part in her retirement! Mary and I usually touched base, via email, around the first of the year.  The last several she would be beam with pride, talking about her granddaughters. Jim, we were so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing and are sending our condolences to you and your family. ~Larry & Shiela Walker

May27,2006 I was at my lowest having lost my dear mom Dolores Christopher Koller when an angel on earth reached out to me. This angel was Mary. As difficult of a time it was for me Mary’s compassion, love,understanding and joy filled my heart. Her love for family,friends,and life is a true testament of her character. Mary will forever live on in the hearts of her beautiful granddaughters and all the lives that she has touched .
I am truly blessed and honored to have Mary as my sister.
Love you, Gail

The passing of this amazing woman is something that I’m sure will forever change the family. The warmth and comfort of her genuine compassion, forgiveness, love, and nonjudgmental presence was unwavering and welcoming. I’m sorry for your loss, and thankful for the blessing she provided in this life

I have many fond memories of Mary (Mrs. Glaab to me) growing up with Bill in Greene. She was extremely kind and had a great laugh. I will always remember the trip to Ocean City with the Glaab family for summer vacation in 10th grade. We had an absolute blast and there were lots of laughs and stories that Bill and I still cherish. My heart breaks that she is gone, but she is certainly not forgotten. My family will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers and are very sorry for your loss.

Mary learned late in life – as an adopted daughter – that she had oodles of Germanna cousins through biological inheritance. Never too late! On April 26 last year, she wrote to me “please keep my family and myself in your prayers as I have just been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.” I wrote back to her “God bless you, Mary! I certainly will! My old boss, Congressman Mark Souder, also has pancreatic cancer. Can you pray for him, too? The peace of Christ be with you, cousin Mary!” Both are now in Heaven.

Easily one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever had the privilege to know. Both she and Jim will forever be in my heart. It was and always will be my great honor to have been their neighbors and friends for so many years. My deepest condolances to Jim. You married and lived your life with a wonderful person, as did she.

I was lucky enough to know Mary since our children entered Kindergarten at Salem Drive School in Hanover Township.  My daughter Jessica became good friends with both Steven and Jenny.
Mary was always such a warm and friendly person that you immediately wanted to be with her. Her smile would light up the room and her love of her family was inspirational. 
Jennifer joined our Girl Scout troop as a Daisy scout and Mary was always there to assist us in any way.
I always loved her and her entire family. The love emanated from each and everyone of them. Mary was the driving force for love and compassion. 
I was devastated when she called me in May with the news of her cancer. Even this news she accepted with an understanding that amazed me.
God bless her and may she rest in peace. The world has lost an angel on earth.

I have many wonderful memories of Mary from our time together at St. Elizabeth. I can see in my mind’s eye her beautiful smile and big laugh.  We spent those high school years learning but also roaming the halls, exploring the campus, and, ocassionally, getting into mischief. She will be sorely missed by those of us who shared those years with her. 
I will hold the entire Glaab family in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary had an angelic soul on earth. She was a kind and loving person to not only her friends and family but to everyone she came in contact with. Mary was a true friend and will be deeply missed. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family.        The Ciangiola family
