Pollien; her parents, Edward and Frieda DePauli; her siblings Frank DePauli and Oliver DePauli, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, cousins, nephew, great nephew, many aunts and uncles and her great-great grandson Kase Nicolas Karlson.
Mary is survived by her beloved children, Janice (Carl Holmer) Henderson, Daniel (Teri) Pollien, Laura (Ron) Price; cherished grandma of Sarah (Steve) Statham, Meghann (Neal Drysdale) Henderson, Leah (Todd) Gnau, Joseph (Jackie) Pollien, Lauren (Jon) Lucchesi; treasured great-grandma of Crystal (Nick Karlson), Chaz, and Cameron; and great-great grandma of Kaleah Maria Karlson.

Mary was born in St. Louis, MO. She resided in St. Louis City, Dellwood, Gerald and O’Fallon MO.
Mary’s family always came first in her heart and she dearly treasured every single memory they made and the time spent together over the years. She devoted her entire life to being a homemaker. Many years after her children left the nest, she worked part-time at Big Lots in Dellwood, MO. Mary and Herman retired to Gerald MO, where they were active in the Senior Center and Meals on Wheels, loved playing card games with friends as well as other volunteer work. Mary was an excellent cook and kept everyone happy with the great meals she prepared. No matter who would come over, she always wanted to “feed” you. No one ever left her house hungry – she was the perfect Italian Mom to all. Besides cooking, Mary loved Branson shows, traveling, playing games, puzzles, Bingo, reading, needlepoint, cross stitch, and all types of crafts.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Memorials may be made in Mary's name to Shriners Hospitals for Children or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
