Mac was a rambunctious woman, smart and loved. I will miss her. I was a dietary aide at the valley inn. God bless

I took care of Ms Mac when she was in the valley. Sweetest lady on the planet. Never saw her upset and never saw her without a smile on her face and she always put one on mine. She will be missed and she is still so loved

So sorry for this loss, to all who knew Mac. I first met her at a restaurant called Arborena. I had just come to make us and I was all by myself, and she was with a table full of women, and she came over and invited me to join them. Once when she was about ninety four or maybe ninety six... we crashed a party together, and Mac was the life of the party!
I wish I could have spent more time with her.
