With deep sadness we announce the passing of Mary Frances Gregory.  She was just 66.

Born in Georgia, she is the daughter of  Clarence W. and Velma (nee Snelgrove) Knight, late of Brooklyn Park.  Mary is a former student of Brooklyn Park High School where she  graduated in 1969.

She is the dear wife of Ernest "Sonny" W. Gregory and the beloved mother of Crystal L. Cuffley and Jeffrey "Scott" and his wife Cathi.  One of her dearest loves was spending time with the grand kids, Damien Cuffley and Seth Gregory with whom she played cards and board games and enjoyed other fun activities.  It was a "big thing," for her to spend time with family and friends.  Another favorite past time was gardening.  It was said that she loved her plants and caring for this special space.  Mary expressed her empathy and compassion through yet another hobby, crochet.  She spent many hours making afghan blankets which she distributed to residents of local nursing homes.

Although her years were not many she has left a lasting and loving impression that is timeless.
