In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Meridian Senior Center, the local nonprofit that Mary loved.

For countless years, Mary was the very first smiling face to welcome you through the doors of Meridian Senior Center. Her kindness, warmth, and boundless love for this Center touched everyone she met. Mary had a rare and beautiful gift—she made every member and guest feel truly seen, valued, and at home.

Mary found joy in so many of the things that make our Center special, especially Bingo. Whether she was calling the numbers or playing alongside friends, her infectious laughter and enthusiasm filled the room and lifted the spirits of all around her.

And of course, Fridays belonged to Boise State. You could always count on Mary proudly dressed in blue and orange, cheering on her team and sharing that same spirited energy with everyone she encountered.

Mary’s impact on our community is immeasurable, and her presence will be deeply missed. Though her seat may now be empty, her love, laughter, and legacy will forever live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In Honor of Mary Wheeler
