Northern California PGR member Dan Burton has requested the PGR be present to honor his mother, Mary Katherine Means, for her service to her country. It will be our honor to do so.
Mary served in the United States Marine Corps from 1943 to 1945, and was in the Women's Reserve at Camp Pendleton during National Emergency WWII. At the time of her discharge she had attained the rank of sergeant.
Mary was a 25-year employee San Diego Gas & Electric where she was a home economist and affairs counselor. She authored a monthly Chit Chat column that was sent out to customers with every utility bill.
In her private life Mary enjoyed playing cards and was an avid Bridge player.
Mary was predeceased by her 2 brothers and 1 sister. She is survived by her 2 sons, 6 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
