Mary was raised in Bountiful, Utah & attended West High School. She met Dallas and they were inseparable in life. She spent hours at the softball field watching Dal play fastpitch, never missing one of his games. They enjoyed trips to Lake Powell listening to Johnny Mathis on their boat, with family & friends. Together, they raised 4 daughters who were their pride and joy.

Mary & Dallas retired and moved to St. George where they spent over 30 years in their desert oasis together. They loved nothing more than spending time with their daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren when they would come visit. 

Survived by her daughters, Korrie Katz (Brian), Karrie Richards (Mike), Kristie Archuleta (Dee), Wendie Huntington (Doug), 10 grandchildren & numerous great-grandchildren; Half-Brother Richard Ronfeldt.

Mary and Dallas spent nearly 70 years together, and she has been lost without him. What a glorious reunion of a life-long love story! Though they will be missed every single day, we are so happy they are now together!
