Mary was born on July 21, 1916 in Timber Lake, South Dakota the daughter of Albert B. and Catherine (Huber) Verhey. At an early age Mary's mother died and she was raised by her father and older siblings. She graduated from Timber Lake High School in 1933. In 1934 the Verhey family moved to Sunnyside where they farmed. Mary attended Business College in Everett, WA where she met and later married Clyde Shrewsberry on April 13, 1942. She was a member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church, active member of the Sunnyside Senior Center and a Gold Star Mother. She was a very hard worker, a sweetheart and a non-judgmental and responsible lady. She demonstrated humor and loved a good story. Grammy was genuinely interested in anyone who crossed her path. She never needed a reason to get together with family or friends. Not much surprised her but when it did, she would respond with "whoopie la la!" Grammy also loved tic tacs and hard candy, especially butterscotch. She liked to play many kinds of games, especially Connect Four and UNO. She loved to people watch. She and her friends used to be mall walkers and they eventually became mall watchers. Mary loved to entertain and socialize, so if you went to visit her she would always have a piece of her Lemon Meringue Pie or some special treat to serve you. She enjoyed playing pinochle and the organ, taking trips with family and friends and spent many hours at their cabin near Tampico. Mary is survived by her son, David Shrewsberry (Karen) of Sunnyside, WA. Three grand children, Kay La Roche, Keri Orate and Lynn Shrewsberry; two great grandchildren, Chance Shrewsberry and Jackson Orate; She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Clyde P. Shrewsberry in 1981; son Roger Shrewsberry in 1968 and two brothers, Bernard and William; three sisters Elizabeth, Helena and Sister Margaret DeLourdes Verhey.
