Mary had great love of her Irish heritage, her family and her friends. She was incredibly kind with a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Those left to honor her memory are her brothers, Jim (Sharon) Hancock and Don (Susan) Hancock, all of Davenport, a sister-in-law, Jane Hancock, Waterloo, many loving nieces and nephews, and lots of extended family members who brought joy to Mary

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Vince and Loretta Hancock, and siblings and their spouses, Jan (Lorne) Mayer and Harold (Peggy) Hancock. May they rest in peace.
