North Bend, NE Saturday, October 3, 2020 Mary's passing most certainly ends an era for Fremont. She and her husband John George were a Fremont iconic fixture at their Coast-to-Coast store. It is where we saw them, and all their children as they grew up working the floor. She and they are missed. Mary is yet one more of an era of the greatest nation. Husbands off to war, then staying in reserve units--Go Navy.To all the family--know she lived a happy life full of friends. Our heartfelt condolences.
