 Mary Alice Huff

    Mary Alice Huff age 76, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025 in Byron, MI. She was born on May 25, 1949, in Howell, MI, the daughter of Lester Elias and Gladys Marie (Seim) Rider. She lived a life characterized by love, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to her family and friends.

    Mary's professional life was marked by her many years of dedicated service in customer relations. She was renowned for her ability to connect with people, a skill that she carried into every interaction. Her colleagues remember her as a source of support and a friendly face who could always be relied upon for a kind word or a helping hand.

    Outside of work, Mary's interests were as diverse as they were passionate. She found joy in crafting crochet blankets, each stitch a testament to her patience and care. A fervent fan of the old West, she could often be found lost in the adventures of John Wayne or the tales of "Gunsmoke." Her adventurous spirit led her on numerous road trips across the country with her best friend, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Above all, Mary's greatest pleasure was found in the company of her friends and family, with whom she shared her most cherished moments.

    Mary is survived by her children, Gordon (Karen) Huff, Jackie (Mark Chudy) Evans, and Gary Huff; grandchildren, Lucas, Logan, Lauren (Brennon), Julia, Josh, Jada, Jayden, Hayden, Cody (Haylee), Brendon, and Bradley, as well as her cherished great-grandchildren, Thadd, Jax, Jason, and Killian. Mary's sister, Margaret Bechler, and sister-in-law, Marilyn Rider, along with many nieces and nephews, also hold dear the memory of her nurturing spirit. Mary was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Lester and Gladys Rider, and her brother, Richard Rider.

    A funeral service for Mary was held 11 AM Saturday, January 3, 2025 at Watkins Brothers Funeral Homes, MacDonald Chapel, 315 N. Michigan Ave with visitation an hour prior. Interment followed in Lakeview Cemetery in Howell.
