MARY NAKAYAMA Obituary

Mary Nakayama, 44, died on October 25, 2008. Survived by husband Cary; children Brian and Michelle; and golden retriever Crystal. She was the best mom that her kids could wish for and a wife every man dreams of. Mary was a fun and loving woman. She loved each and every holiday and found reasons to throw the most wonderful parties. Anyone who knew her will never forget how she touched people's lives, made the sun come out on rainy days, and just helped make things seem ok. She will be missed by her Sisterhood of the Swirl, Bunco group, Ghost Town family, wine club and beautiful friends that she considered her family. A memorial service will take place on Wednesday, November 5, 2008, at 2:00 pm at the Divine Redeemer Catholic Church, 825 N. Logan Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80909. In lieu of flowers donations would be appreciated by the family to Pikes Peak Hospice, 825 East Pikes Peak Ave., Ste. 600, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
