Mary loved to travel. She traveled to Mexico several times for language immersion programs. In her later years, she especially loved going up north with friends. Mary was an avid thrift shopper. She cared deeply for her family and friends and would often show her love with bold advice and giving secondhand trinkets that she found. She kept a well-loved flower garden with her green thumb. She enjoyed reading and had a great appreciation for libraries. Christmas Eve was a special holiday where Mary would be sure to create a space for the Hennen family to gather all together. She will be dearly missed.
