Mineral Point - Mary Rink left this life on her final journey on Friday, March 15, following a massive stroke at the age of 86. She was life-long resident of Mineral Point and a member of St. Mary’s church where she received all her sacraments from her baptism to her death.

Her career highlights include starting as a Clerk-Stenographer for the federal government in 1952, with FBI security clearance and ended with her retirement from Lands’ End after 25 years. Throughout her life, she made and enjoyed many friends and had the gift to let people know how much they meant to her. As a result, she had many different groups of friends with whom she enjoyed love and laughter. Her love of travel lead her to many adventures. She is now on her final journey and the best vacation of her life. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2019 at 12:00 noon at Ss.
