Mary (President) was born and raised on a farm in Northwestern Illinois. She has had a love of horses since she could talk and asked for a horse many times. She graduated from a diploma nursing program and worked as an RN for 43 years. Mary and her husband Harold have four grown children and eleven grandchildren. Her love of horses has continued throughout her life, having owned horses twice, and spending many hours riding at a friend’s home; going to all kinds of horse shows; visiting the west when possible and hosting a therapeutic riding program at their home for a few years. That program outgrew their arena and when Harold and Mary found themselves mowing their five acres many times a month with no livestock to assist them, they decided to move. Having vacationed to the Cody area on numerous occasions, they decided to move to Cody. Both Harold and Mary had been involved in community activities in Illinois. Harold was with the Lions Club and local food pantry while Mary was with the Sinnissippi Foundation Board and the White Oaks Therapeutic Equestrian Center Board. After attending Jay Kirkpatrick’s presentation on PZP in November of 2015, they started volunteering for Friends of a Legacy in 2016. Mary joined the FOAL board in early 2017.
