As her hobbies, she liked hunting, fishing and day trips with her husband.Mary will be fondly remembered for her great sense of humor, which was definitely her trademark.

(Ted Stegman) Rokos, all of Traverse City; six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and one soon to be born great-great grandchild.In addition to her parents and husband, Mary was also preceded in death by two brothers, Jerome "Jerry" Pratt and William "Bill" Pratt; and her twin sister, Elizabeth Bartling.A Celebration of Life service will be held in the spring of 2011, at which time an announcement will be made.

The staff's kindness is truly recognized. The Rokos Family would also like to acknowledge and thank the tremendous staff at Munson Medical Center, who comforted Mary in her final days.
