I have so many wonderful memories that will never be forgotten. Mom loved the movies and remember all of us getting together to see a movie at the theatre. We would arrive at the theatre early to reserve 6 to 8 + seats. And when it was over, it was fun talking about it. We enjoyed watching something on tv and loved hearing her laugh and laughed with her.
Mom loved doing activities that interest family members like going to comedy clubs with Charlie and his family. Anytime Mom smiled or laughed, you would smile and laugh with her.
She enjoyed doing all kinds of outdoor things, including going to the Greek Festival and the Indianapolis 500, and all of us getting together to watch the 4th of July fireworks downtown. Mom also enjoyed music and singing. I really loved hearing Mom sing in Church and at home, she has the most beautiful voice. She enjoyed going to concerts like American Idol. Mom also loves to travel.
Paris McCash says
I’ll always remember Mom’s awesome cooking. She made sure there was enough for everyone and that everyone was full. She seem to know exactly what everyone liked and disliked and made sure everyone was happy.
Mom loved life to the fullest, and loved our family very much and would go out of her way to help any of us. She loved taking care of children for her sons and daughter. I only wish Julie and I met sooner in life so that she could have enjoyed our children.
Mom is the foundation of our family and my best Mother, that I would have no other. Because of you and Dads example and love for the gospel, all of us children have turned out really good in life.
I love and will miss you so much Mom but knowing thru the gospel that we’ll be together again gives me something to look forward to.
Tears of sorrow now and my heart aches and hurts but tears of joy will happen as I see you again with my wife and kids someday.

We will miss you mom. Mary was a great mom. I am a very proud son. I love you, mom.
Rachel McCash says
I love how grandma always remembered me on every holiday and my birthday. She always sent me a card with a dollar bill in it and always sent me a birthday gift no matter where I lived. I also remember how amazing Grandma was at cooking. She always had the best meals prepared at family gatherings. I also remember how she always had every type of cereal imaginable in her lazy susan cupboard. Her house was fun and put together and gave me a lot to look forward to when I visited. Even after she became sick, I remember how she would smile at me and listen to what I was saying. I always wanted to make her proud because I could tell she really cared about me. Grandma Mary was the only grandma I could really connect to, even though we lived far apart most of the time. Grandma Mary was everything I ever wanted in a grandma and I’m sad to say good-bye for now, but I will see her again in Heaven.

I am so sorry to hear about Aunt marie. I wish I could be there to give all of you a great big hug. It is so hard when you lose a parent or a spouse. It is a long hard road. I believe she is with many people who love her and she is watching over you and keeping you all safe.

I met Mary 32 years ago when Ellis brought me to Indianapolis 1st Ward. What a wonderful person she was. What a wonderful example to everyone. I’ll always remember how special she was. Following is one of my favorite poems about Mothers. “As children, we can’t comprehend or fully realize the meaning of our Mother’s love, how tender and how wise, the patience and forgiveness that are part of every day, the unexpected “little things” she does in her own way. Years go by before we can look back on life and see through older eyes and wiser hearts her love and loyalty, and yet it’s these and other special things we’ll hold so dear, for memories of her steadfast love will keep her ever near.” May God Bless & Comfort Wayne & Mary’s family with the peace and knowledge that she has only gone home and she is ok. She’ll be with the rest of our loved ones, waiting to greet you on the other side.

We love and miss you grandma. You were and still are a great grandma, You may be gone physically but within our hearts you are still with us!
Melissa Faye McCash says
I miss you so much, mom. I want to say, that I am overwhelmed when I think about the mother that you were and still are to all of us. I have a child hood filled with happy memories because of you. You taught me how to love. Your godly example will not only continue to live in your children but it will be past down through your grandchildren. I don’t deserve such a wonderful mother but I am so grateful and humbled that I was given that blessing. I am so happy for you. The last six years of your life have been rough for you and dad. You both handled it like champions. Which is no surprise to me. Thank you for your love and forgiveness and all that you taught me. Thank you for your example of what a mother should be, an example I need and follow everyday with my own children. You have returned to our Heavenly Father, and I long to see you again. Enjoy your new life. I will continue to embrace you with mine, until we meet again. I love you so much, momma. Your Daughter, Melissa

I just wanted to send my prayers up to the family. May the Lord be with you in this time of sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sure that if Mary and I would never have met, I would have not lived through the 1960’s. She was always firm but fair with our children, and whatever great things they have done or whatever great accomplishment that they will ever do in the future will be because of Mary. Mary was sick for the past 6 years and I had the great privilege of being her care giver. She was the greatest patient and sweetheart. There was not a day go by that I did not enjoy taking care of her. I will always be eternally grateful for her, and I will truly miss her on earth and I look forward to seeing her and being with her again in the next life.

Charles McCash says
The best thing that that ever happened in my live was to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The next was and is equal to the first, and that was that I had the greatest privilege of meeting Mary Demetro. This would have been the greatest blessing to anyone, but I had the greatest pleasure of all and that was Mary becoming my wife. We shared our life on earth for 47 most beautiful years. I have met a lot of great women in my life and some I could have been happy marring, but none could ever replace or nor could ever come close to Mary. The best part of all of this is that Mary and I have been sealed in the temple and we will be together in the next life for eternity. Mary made me a better person and husband. Why on earth she decided to share her life with me I will never understand as long as I live on this earth, but I will always be eternally grateful that she did.

Walter Harper says
My heart goes out to the family. Sister McCash was such a great example of love and service. One of the things I remember most about her is when Bro. McCash and I would home teach she would have a treat or card for everyone on our home teaching list. Also, she and Sis. Masela were great friends and were like angels to the sisters they visit taught. She will be greatly missed.
With love,
Walter Harper

Part 2 of 2:
Mom’s life is one that is to be celebrated, cherished and remembered fondly with warm hearts and broad smiles. I miss her terribly and look forward to the time when our family will all be reunited again, together as a celestial family, with our Mother standing as our Matriarchal Head, of which we all will look up to, love, admire and be most grateful for, as we stand together, steadfast in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, beholding the expanse of the heavenly eternities before us, with our great sense of awe, peace and happiness, looking into the future of our glorious eternal family, together again, no more separated, hardly knowing, what beauty lies before us, in our horizons that will never end.
Mario McCash says
My mother was my best friend, all throughout my life. She was the person I confided in for all the issues, thoughts, feelings and concerns that mattered most in life. Her wisdom, comfort, encouragement, counsel, advice and correction was and is forever priceless to me. Mom and I shared a special bond and connection, I felt so very close to her, she always made me feel special, unique, important, that my life and its attendant callings really mattered, to not only myself, but to my family and all those I would encounter and associate with. I suspect she created these special bonds with not only me, but with all of her family and friends. She just had a way that made you feel that you were the most important person in the room, and indeed most important in her life and in yours, it was a magical gift she possessed.
David McCash says
It was hard to watch the transition that you went through at the last stage of your life on earth. Knowing that these events are irreversible was heart wrenching. We all hoped and prayed that you may receive a full recovery. Thanks for being a sweet mother that always cared for the needs and concerns of her children. Truly you are an individual that did not need The Family: A Proclamation to the World issued by the leadership of our church. Motherhood came instinctively and intuitively to you. You found joy in being a wife and mother. You were not embarrassed to be considered or to even call yourself a house wife – your life long profession was being a loyal, loving wife and mother and you found dignity in it. You nurtured your children, taught them to pray and have faith in God and you were a perfect cook. I love you mom. Thanks for being my home, my safe haven, my comfort, my hero. May God bless you for your endless sacrifices for all of us your children.
Philip Demetro says
God bless you all.
Sarah McCash says
My grandma Mary was so sweet and caring. I’ll miss her dearly. But I know that she is free of her earthly pain, and is now in heaven, and she is watching out for us still.
I love you, Grandma! I’ll see you later!
Virginia McAllister says
My love for you is pure.
We will meet again.
Deepest and sweet Aloha to you and your loved ones.

Dear Wayne,Melissa and boys, I don’t think you will remember me. I met your mom in Alameda. We were in the primary presidency together. Wayne and Jerry my husband (who passed away in 2002),were on the same ship. Marie was the most loving, caring person I’ve ever be aquinted with. I can still see her smile. She was a fantastic mother, loving wife and warm loving friend. I want to thank Melissa for sending me information on Marie’s health the past few years. And for the funeral announcesment. You are as sweet as your mom. Your sweet family is in my prayers. Peace to your precious family, and to you Wayne. Love Lueen
