Mary Larson

July 18, 1927 — January 21, 2018

Mary Lucille Larson, age 90, passed away at Life Care Center of Casper on January 21, 2018. She was born July 18, 1927 in Great Falls, Montana to Hattie Luella (Harte) and Rupert Neal Anderson. Mary graduated from NCHS in 1945 and studied at Denver University for a time before returning to help care for her sick father. She married Gustave N. Larson, Jr. in Casper on July 8, 1946. Mary worked as a secretary at Mountain View and Willard schools for many years. She was a member of Say-Sews Sewing Club, Rebekah Lodge, the Historical Society, and had a life membership to PTA. Her hobbies included crocheting, crafts, and baking, but her greatest joy in life was her children and grandchildren. Mary was the most important, influential, loving, kind, fun, caring, wonderful woman. She was the glue of our family and was always there when we needed her. She has been welcomed with open arms by God and will no longer be in pain but be at peace. We will miss her tremendously.
