    Mary worked with me for 28 years at RAMAC……she was the first one to greet me…..when I walked into the RAMAC building at 300 5th…..to interview in 1982. I loved her smile at that time…..and I always have. She was great to work with…… funny and smart. Always accepting of new people and new responsibilities….may she rest in peace.

    My sincerest condolences to Mary’s family. I worked with Mary from 1998 until her retirement. She had a heart of gold and a quirky sense of humor, which I loved. She truly was one of a kind. I will never forget her.

    Dear family,
    I will always remember Mary Catherine, as we called her when we cousins were all growing up together as Baba and Jaja’s grandchildren. She was always so much fun and the cousin I wanted to sit with at any family gathering. I have lots a good memories that include her and all the Christmases, family picnics and weddings.
    I am so sad for you as you say goodbye to this very special lady.

    I am so truly sorry. I don’t have the paper and for some reason, I was just looking at the obits when I saw Mary’s obit. I really thought this was Karl’s sister. When I started reading the obit did I realize who this really was. Mary Catherine Kielar! She was my maid of honor in my wedding and I was close to the family especially her sister Delores and brother-in-law’ Ray. I thought of her every so often but never ran into her or any of the class of 58 reunions. I had an automobile accident right in front of the intersection where she worked. She came right out and took my little girl into her office to calm her down. To Delores and Ray, I am so, so, sorry.

Testimonials

December 18, 2024

Words cannot even begin to express the tremendous gratitude our family has for a team like the one at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematory. Thank you for the gentle lovely care over our mother Delia (Rosa) Balderas. Never having had a direct experience with a funeral home to this extent we didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t have a clue that they would step right in and have the most comforting team surrounding us that thought of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for anyone in our position. It was very evident from the first discussion on the phone that they were already well prepared to handle every little detail for us that we weren’t even aware would be required. Mark and his team truly eased so much of the unknown worries right out of our path, and left room for us to just focus on the small personal details we wanted for our mom. It was nice to know that all cost involved was in black and white on their site as well as on paper at our first meeting. Leaving no room for question or doubt what so ever with any fee involved. It was truly a blessing to have everything written out so well and simplified with various price range options in a time that we needed crystal clear direction. Its been beautiful to see that their care and service didn’t stop after our mom’s service came to an end. They continue to be in communication with immediate responses as questions arise along the way. God bless Mark, and the entire compassionate team, to be around to guide many many more for generations to come through life’s most difficult times. You are all truly amazing.

 

Hilda Balderas
