Mary Dorothy, daughter of Henry and Cecelia (Mueller) Kaufman, was born March 23, 1917, near Westphalia, Iowa. She lived with her family on a farm near Earling and attended St. Joseph’s School in Earling. After completing her education she “worked out”in the homes of other families in the area.

On November 5, 1945, Mary was united in marriage with Leroy H. Mundt at St. Joseph’s Church in Earling. They moved to California for a short time before returning to Iowa. They first lived in Aspinwall and then settled in Manning. Mary and Leroy were the parents of eight children. Mary was a homemaker and full-time mother to their children.

Mary always raised a large garden and did a lot of canning, as well as, baking, quilting and sewing. In her spare time she enjoyed Bingo and playing cards. Mary was a member of Sacred Heart Parish in Manning and was active in the ladies organization. After the death of her husband Leroy on May 9, 1983, Mary remained in their home in Manning. When her health began to fail in late 2005, she became a resident of Manning Plaza Nursing Home. She died there after several weeks of illness on Sunday, March 16, 2008, at the age of 90 years, 11 months and 22 days.
