Mary Ratliff Obituary
Mary Elizabeth
(Graham) Ratliff
March 12, 2022
Mary Ratliff, 80, passed away peacefully at her home in Woodland Park on Saturday, March 12, 2022 with her loving family members present. Mary was born in Colorado Springs in 1941 and graduated from the last class of Colorado Springs High School. She was an avid hiker and a beautiful singer. She placed the needs of others before her own and always lit up a room with her smile. She doted on family and friends through a multitude of gifts, especially unique plastic canvas tissue boxes and decorations. While we miss her terribly, we take comfort in knowing that she went home to be with the Lord. A memorial service will occur on Tuesday, May 31st at 2 pm at Village Seven Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs.
