Mary Ness

Wanting to spend her birthday with the Lord, our beloved wife and mother Mary Temus Ness entered eternal life on Monday, Jan. 10, 2023, one day before her 76th birthday. Mary was born to Joseph and Eleine (Greely) Temus in Puyallup, Washington. She spent her early years on a small hobby farm where she enjoyed gardening and animals of various sizes. In 1965 she graduated from Puyallup High School and then off to WSU for two years. It was at WSU she found her love, Don. This young, good-looking man swept her off her feet and would drive many a mile to court her. She found herself in Chicago, Illinois to further her education in floral arranging and cake decorating. With this in hand, she graced many weddings, including her very own children and brother. Her flower arrangements brought many smiles to many people.
