Mary Tockstein.  Age 82 of Taylor.
 
Beloved wife of the late Bernard Tockstein.  Loving mother of John (the late Jillann) Tockstein, Paula (Mark) Bentley and Aaron (Holly) Tockstein.  Dearest grandmother of Jonathon (Jennifer) Tockstein, Jameson Tockstein, Justin Tockstein, Jaclyn Tockstein, Mark (Katie) Bentley, Paul Bentley and David Bentley.  Great grandmother of Ender Bentley.  Dear sister of Virginia Clark, Caren (Robert) Clark, Donald (Patricia) Gray and Ervin Gray.  Sister-in-law of Sheila Gray and Sandy Gray. 

Mary is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Helen (Chamberlain) Gray; siblings Donna Concord, Harry Gray, Charles Gray, and Ada Gray Jackman; and siblings-in-law Michael Clark and Vicky Gray.

Mary greatly enjoyed arts and crafts such as painting, pottery, needlework, cross-stitch and many others.  She always looked forward to her yearly vacations to Florida and even founded a Red Hat Society chapter out of her condo there.  Mary also loved flowers and always kept her home surrounded by them.  She will be remembered for her love of her family and was always involved in the lives of her siblings, children and especially her grandchildren.  Mary was the heart of the Tockstein family and they will all miss her greatly.

Mary will be buried alongside her husband at Our Lady of Hope.
