Mary married Glenn Sinclair on Sept. 28, 1952 in Battle Ground and through the years the family moved to various parts of the country while Glenn worked for Morrison Knudsen Co., on many dams. From the west coast to the east coast and back west they made their homes in New York, Idaho, Oregon and Washington settling in Brewster, Wash. for several years.
Following Glenn’s retirement, they located to Endicott, Wash. in 1993 to be near family. Mary was a wonderful homemaker, loving and caring wife and mother. She took great pride in raising the family whom she loved dearly and spending time together was very important. There was always a pot of coffee to share while visiting. She enjoyed life and her hobbies included quilting, sewing and cooking. She loved tending a vegetable garden and always had many, many flowers. This attracted many birds, deer and rabbits to the yard, which thrilled her.
