The couple enjoyed 47 years of marriage until his death in 1997. Mary worked as an RN for many years at a number of hospitals and she and Ralph owned the Schwartz Nursing Home in Waterloo for 20 plus years. Mary had an unforgettable personality and a quick, Irish tongue. Her whit often got Mary in to "trouble", as she often spoke before she thought - this was one of Mary's most endearing qualities. She was a wife, mother, and grandmother who loved spending time with her family. She enjoyed a joke and knew how to have a good time. She was a devout parishioner of St. Albert the Great Catholic Church of Sun Prairie and will be dearly missed.
