Mary and Don were long-time members of Second Reformed Church, served as 4H Leaders, enjoyed square dancing, and loved to golf. But, without doubt, Mary and Don’s favorite place was at home on the farm. There will be no prior calling hours. A service will be held in the spring with burial in the Marion Cemetery.
