Mary Elizabeth Scherrer McLane of Crestwood, Kentucky entered peacefully into new life on November 11, 2021, surrounded by her family.
Mary was an accomplished watercolorist and had a keen eye for design that she used in making her homes, and the homes of her friends, warm, comfortable, and charming. Her art skills made her quite the crayon coloring/arts and crafts companion to her grandchildren. Her ability to find joy and share joy was a hallmark of her life. Mary shared generously. Mary will be lovingly remembered by friends for her famous barn dances, costume parties, wild game dinners, and Bunco parties. She had a zest for life that showed, drawing people in by her upbeat spirit. If a joke was needed, Mary had one. If a hug or sharing of tears was needed, Mary provided it. She was truly a treasure. A favorite set of words by F. Collis Wildman always adorned her homes in prominent placement. It speaks of three things to accomplish before you lay your head on your pillow each night when you can say, “I have done my best.” They include always being kind, always giving a smile to the world–even when it hurts, and accomplishing at least one worthwhile thing each day. Mary did her best, and her best was extraordinary.
Mary leaves behind dear friends in Valparaiso, Indiana; Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati; Ludington and Baldwin, Michigan and Greater Louisville.
