Mary Smith North Ward, loving mother, wife, daughter, passed away on December 16, 1998 from Natural Causes. She will be dearly missed by all those who's lives she enriched.

Mary held many significant callings within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but most notably loved music as a ward organist for over 50 years, under nine different bishops and played for 109 funerals. She was very proud of winning the Granite District piano contest while in school.
Mary worked most of her life as a secretary.
