Crescent Valley, Nevada (Newe Sogobia). With very heavy hearts, we regret to inform you that yesterday evening, April 22, 2005, Mary Dann, Western Shoshone grandmother and life long activist passed away. Mary was killed in an accident while working on her family's ranch. She died as she would have wanted - with her boots on and hay in her pocket. Mary is survived by her sister, Carrie Dann, her grandchildren, her greatgrandchildren, her nieces, and nephews and her two brothers, Richard and Clifford and many, many more relatives and friends. Mary was an honorable, incredible woman who inspired people through her quiet strength and unwavering faith in the Creator. Mary Dann will be sorely missed but she will never be forgotten. Service arrangements are being determined by the family. We have received many calls about arrangements for Mary's passing and thank everyone for their kind words and their love for Mary. There will be a visitation at the Burns Memorial Home today, Sunday April 24.
The ashes of Western Shoshone activist Mary Dann will be scattered on the family ranch in Nevada's Crescent Valley, her sister said Monday.
Carrie Dann said her sister has completed life's cycle.
"Her body will be cremated and her ashes released to become part of the earth, and nurture her and nurture life, as it was meant to be," Carrie Dann said in a statement.
"She came from the earth and she is returning back to the arms of her mother, the earth."
