Mary Elizabeth (Cox) Schwarz
Mary E. Schwarz passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 27, 2021. She was born October 23, 1934 to Charlotte Deane and Elmer Cox at her grandmother's home on Lulu Street, Trenton, Missouri. She moved to Bozeman with her family in 1935.
Her mother died when she was 3 years old and she was raised by her paternal aunt and uncle Ada & Ray Stewart and paternal grandmother, Mary Ann Cox. Mary received her education in the Bozeman public schools and at Kinman Business University in Spokane, Washington.

Mary was an executive assistant at numerous businesses before she joined the University of Montana staff, retiring in 1993. Mary was a member of Beta Sigma Phi for 50 years and Trinity Baptist Church. Her past times were reading, crossword puzzles, playing bridge, skiing (which Mary never mastered) and camping in the summer.
