In Memory Of

Mary J. Clifford age 61, of Helena

April 26, 1955 – February 6, 2017

Mary Clifford, 61

April 26, 1955 to February 6, 2017

 

Mary passed away peacefully in the hospital on Feb 6, 2017 from fighting a courageous battle of pancreatic cancer.

 

Born in Jerome, ID and raised in Buhl, ID by Bonnie Bailey, she grew up with a strong, loving family with her siblings: Patricia Kaes, Diana Miller, Darlene Stromberg, David Kennison and Linda Gough.

 

Mary loved gardening, caring for her yard with many different kinds of plants that she had planted such as iris, lilies and even many different trees. She also loved growing strawberries and other fruits for her grandchildren. She devoted her time to creating a beautiful place for her to be able to spend time with her family and especially her grandchildren as they were a very important part of her life!

 

She was a former resident from Utah where she was a very hard worker at Hill Airforce Base as an Aircraft Mechanic for over 15 years.

 

Mary is survived by her mother, Bonnie Bailey, brother, David Kennison, sisters, Pat Kaes, Darlene Stromberg, and Diana Miller. She also has 3 children, 2 sons and 1 daughter: Doug Clifford (Amy Clifford), Nicholas Clifford, Delicia Larson (Chad Larson) and 9 amazing grandchildren that she adored: Tori Hill, Colton Clifford, Kelsee Hill, Dyllan Clifford, Zach Clifford, Catlin Clifford, Makayla Clifford, Cyla Larson, Driver Larson, Jace Cassingham. Plus 7 great-grandchildren: Hailey, Dominique, Sydney, Alayna, Ava, Bentley and Dawson.

 

A service will be held in Idaho, with her family members so they will share in the celebration of her life. More details will follow.

 

The family would be very grateful if instead of sending flowers, if you can make any donations to Wells Fargo toward the Mary Clifford Memorial Fund OR to Valley Bank of Helena to the Mary Clifford Memorial.
