Mary was born October 9, 1957 in Austin, Minnesota to Edward and Lois Lobb. Family was everything to Mary. She would often recount great and often times humoring memories with anything from heated ping pong matches with her brother Kevin who “always cheated” from her childhood to telling her daughter “Tara I always knew you’d be obsessed with a tidy home, because as a baby you’d be laying on the floor focusing on something so minute as a lint hair,” remaining true to this day. Other memories include braving Minnesota winters taking her boys to school while they were too busy with their Gameboys to notice she was driving them through blizzarding country roads.

On November 21, 1976 Mary was blessed with her daughter Tara. On May 2, 1992, Mary married Mark Larson and they were blessed with two sons, Braden and Brock.

Mary is survived by her husband, Mark, her children, Tara Conner, Braden Larson (Emily), and Brock Larson (Cassandra), her grandchildren Austin Mattice (Kaylee) and Addison Mattice, Isabella Larson and Anastasia Larson, her brothers Dave, Mike and Kevin, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Mary will be remembered for her kindness and compassion especially for her family, but also for strangers and animals as well. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and wife.
