Mary Graf Howatt obituary

Mary Elizabeth Graf Howatt, beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, returned to our Heavenly Father on March 17, 2023, following sudden heart failure after 54 years of full and rewarding life. She was an anchor and a light in the lives of everyone who knew her, often serving as a life coach since before the position was invented. Her final act of love was to continue selfless service to others through organ donation.
