Mary Lynn, Buzz, Cathy, Scott, Conway and Families: We were saddened to hear the news. We will miss Mary Pate. Our frequent trips to Warroad in recent years to the WSLC were brightened by her presence. She always had a warm word, smile, and a hug for us. I will miss her stories of people we all know and love. When I graduated from high school she was there to encourage. We have lost a beautiful friend. Steve and Laurie Landby

I was so fortunate and lucky to have taken care of this wonderful lady. I could see the love everyone had for her. Even though I didn't know her personally, I know she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, ect. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers and thank you for allowing me to take care of her. It was a blessing!

I am sorry for your loss of a GREAT lady!! When Dave and I moved to Warroad Mary and Tut welcomed us to Warroad. I enjoyed having Mary volunteer in my classroom! The kindergartners liked reading to her as much as she liked to listen to them. I will miss her!

My thoughts and prayers are with Mary's family. She was a wonderful inspiration to all who knew her. I remember at the Laker games, she was one of their biggest fans, she always had a smile. I remember seeing her at Pine Acres when I was a young girl. May the memories of Mary live in your hearts forever. She was a very special lady.

Jule and I were so grieved to hear of Mary's passing. We send our deepest sympathy to you and are praying for you. GOD is the greatest Comforter and Consoler! May HE envelope you in HIS love in greater depth at this time and give you peace! What a sweet and tenderhearted woman she was; and smiles galore! And so full of love for people! What a precious gem! She always said to Jule and I, "I know who you are." Then we'd chat a bit. We will miss seeing her every week at hymn sing and visiting with her. We care and send our love! Jule and Pat
