“Mary was an extraordinary leader whose dedication to her community inspired everyone who had the privilege of working with her,” said CRD Board Chair Margo Wagner. “Her legacy of compassion, strength, and service will be remembered across the region. On behalf of the CRD Board and staff, we extend our deepest condolences to Mary’s family and loved ones.”
