Mary Zurlis-Lally

Mary Zurlis-Lally, one of the toughest women you’ll ever meet, beloved wife of John, devoted daughter of Marijona and Louis, sister of Casimir (Lucy), Anthony (Diane), and Michael, constant companion to George and Henry and her daughter Kate. As children, Mary, her brothers and her life long best friends, Sally N. and Donna G. ran across the prairies in search of adventures. After a catastrophic stroke, Mary worked hard to regain her ability to walk with the help of her devoted PT Alonzo. Mary’s found family was instrumental in helping her to navigate the challenges of post stroke life, especially Rosa P., Laima, Cynthia P, Claudia S., Angel M., John and Mary Louise K., Mary S. T., Diane P., Debbie D., Jennifer S., Julie T., Lorraine P., Dennis M., Cathy V., Ramona T., Karl and Lore B., and Mary Anne and Frank D.. Mary is now reunited with her Beloved Dead to explore the prairies of eternity.
