After graduating from L.P. Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac, she married the love of her life, Joseph Baldauf, on August 3rd, 1963, at St Mary’s Church.

While the last years of Mary’s life were spent under the heavy weight of dementia, together her family was able to honor her wishes by keeping her at home, led by our father’s love and devotion and carried on by the selfless care of her daughter Tammy Evenstad. She will be missed by all.

A private family graveside service will be held at Calvary Cemetery with a celebration of life at a later date.
