Born to Harold and Betty (Parker) Bliss, Mary grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin. She attended UW Whitewater for both her undergraduate degree and Master’s degree in School Counseling. She worked as part of the West Allis Central High School Student Counseling Department for 20+ years. Prior to her true counseling calling, Mary was a Business Education teacher at Greenfield and Messmer High Schools.
Mary’s light shined on everyone around her, including the ICU staff at St. Luke’s during her almost 9 weeks stay. She lit up any room she entered with her laughter, her commentary, and most importantly her kindness. Mary cared deeply for her family – especially her grandchildren. Her loving nature will continue to guide them and many others for the rest of their lives. She will be deeply missed.
HER LIGHT CONTINUES TO SHINE
