A tireless advocate for policies and principles she loved, and a friend and mentor who always took the time to listen and laugh with co-workers who adored her," said INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering. "On behalf of everyone in the association, past and present, we want to extend our thoughts and prayers to her family. Mary is gone far too soon, but she has left an everlasting impact on our lives and on an industry she helped shape."
