Mary was an outstanding Hair Stylist for many years and continued to provide styling for many family members and friends. Mary was always providing styling services to people in need, and loved helping others feel special and respected.

She enjoyed camping and many outside activities. She was always talking about going “up country” and meeting all her friends in her camping circle. 

She was a huge animal lover and advocate. This is evident in the many animals Mary fostered. From chinchillas, turtles, cats, and her beloved dog Shelby, Mary was always there to help and rescue animals in need.

She was a member of the Wicked Witches of the Lakes Region and loved dancing and entertaining the people of the area. 

 “Talking to Mary Boden of the Wicked Witches of the Lakes Region and hearing her story and what they did for our Lakes Region location made me smile and appreciate the wonderful community we are in even more," stated a Director of the local Boys & Girls club.

Mary is survived by her son, Nicholas Graves, grandchildren, Cameron, Cole, and Kyria, brother, Tom Graves (Sharon), sister, Bernadette Fullam (James), nephews and nieces, Tyler, Brady, Hannah, Ashley, Hunter, Brandon, and other loving family members. 

Even in death Mary continued to give to others by being an organ donor. She would be honored by all who join her in organ donorship and providing the gift of life.

Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. The family will have a Celebration of Life for Mary in the spring. 

Those who wish may make a memorial contribution in Mary's name should consider donating to the Lakes Region Humane Society at 11 Old Rte 28, Ossippee, NH 03864.
