April 18, 1935 - September 23, 2014

Mark was born on April 18, 1935, in Mason City, Iowa, a son of Mark J., Sr., and Willamena Viola (Vondracek) Mary. He attended schools in Garner.

In 1957, Mark married Jeanette Fischer in Garner. To this union, four children were born, Steven, Mark, Crystal, and Brad. For thirty-six years, Mark worked at Winnebago Industries, retiring in 1998. He enjoyed spending his time outdoors, fishing, hunting, camping, boating, and gardening. He treasured his family, especially his grandchildren, and he enjoyed the times he spent with them all. A life-long member of the Catholic Church, he belonged to various parishes in the area through the years. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Mark Mary; and his daughter-in-law, Peggy Mary.
