Western Shoshone Grandmother Mary Dann Has Passed On
April 23, 2005.
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. Beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Final services are still being determined.
Please feel free to call here at the office if you need anything or want to a leave a message.
