Mary was a rare lady that was able to weave compassion and common sense with an outstanding work ethic. The City of Tampa lost someone that will not be replaced as her family well knows.
With love, Phil Rice
Thank you all for sharing a memory or attending today! 💕
Mary got her wings RIH my friend. I'll see you on the other side. Thanks for all the help you provided during your employment with City of Tampa. U so help many an employee whether your Department or another. The best Avon lady EVER; the City of Tampa Police Dept Kept us all smelling good. I remember your daughters wedding Downtown Tampa on the River. It was special to be an invited guest. Rest on Mary M Hastings; until we meet again.
It was a Blessing to have known Mary, to have her as a friend and to have worked with her. Mary was a strong person, very personable and had a passion for helping others. Mary loved her family very much. We had a long time saying where I would tell her "I was her only friend," (smile). Rest in Heaven. Praying for strength to the family during this time.
I am so very sorry for the loss of Mary. She was strong, determined, kind, and a wonderful person. Her smile and positive energy always lit up the room and inspired all of us. Working with Mary at the City of Tampa is a cherished memory for me and so many here at the City. She gave her all for her work and most importantly for her family. She endured her illness with grace and finesse as well as with strong determination to live her best life with those she loves. I will miss my dear friend and her texts and calls and hearing about her travels and successes. My deepest sympathy to Dale, Bryan, Melissa, and all of her family.
I have MANY fond memories of Mary from when we were in high school. She was a beautiful, fun and very caring person who always had a smile for everyone. My deepest sympathy to her family. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel!
