Vernon. As well as: 13 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and 14 nieces and nephews.

A resident in Mount Vernon for nearly 40 years she leaves a legacy of kindness, generosity, faith in God, and selfless lifestyle, marked by a strong work ethic.

Mary was born in 1923 in Terre Haute Indiana. She was the fourth of 6 children. After World War II began she and her sister moved to Seattle to work in the building of airplanes and PT boats. When the war ended she continued to live in Seattle, and there in 1947 met LeRoy Blake. They were married in 1948 in Terre Haute Indiana. They lived in Indiana till 1955. From 1955-1959 they lived in the Saint Louis area where in addition to raising their 5 children Mary worked as a waitress. In November of 1959 they moved back again to the Seattle area. Mary worked as a waitress first at the Olympic Hotel then the Legend Room of the Bon Marche' and LeRoy started a business in home milk delivery. In 1968 the family moved to Tenino where they bought a farm and raised horses and cattle. In 1971 they started in the dairy business. In 1972 the Tenino farm was exchanged for a dairy farm in Rochester, WA.

In 1975 Mary and LeRoy left the farm and took up residence in Mt. Vernon where they purchased what was known as Phil's Boathouse on the North fork of the Skagit river. They renamed it, "Blakes Resort and Marina". In the early years it included a small restaurant where Mary became well known for her homemade pies. Her CB handle was "Apple Pie". They continued to manage the business for some years until LeRoy's health began to fail and their son Paul took over the business. But Mary continued to be active in the day to day operation of the resort until 3 weeks before her decease.

She was widowed in 1996 when her husband of 48 years, LeRoy passed. In 2003 she was remarried to Glenn Hanes of LaConner WA. She was widowed again in 2007 when Glenn preceded her in death. She lived alone in her own home until her passing on Sept. 18 at 18:18. She went to her Eternal reward without fear, knowing that she would spend eternity in the presence of the Lord. She will be missed by all of us who knew her.
