God needed another angel, so He called Mary home to Heaven on June 27, 2015. Mary was born on April 27, 1940 in Dubuque, Iowa to James and Lucille (Altman) Corbett. Mary graduated from St. Columbkille High School in 1958 and lived in Dubuque until she met and married Robert Ward on August 6, 1966. The couple moved to Rockford, Illinois where Robert was employed as a sales manager for Gerber Products. In 1970, they moved to Chicago when Robert was promoted to account manager and in 1980, the Wards moved to Fremont. Mary had worked as a telephone manager for Bell Telephone for 20 years until her retirement. Mary was an active member of the All Saints Catholic Church where she had been a Eucharistic Minister and treasured her Christian religion and held various offices within the church order. Mary enjoyed golfing, playing tennis, pickleball, and was a loving and devoted grandmother to her six grandchildren. Mary is survived by her husband of 49 years, Robert of Fremont; her three children, Robert (Angela) Ward Jr. of Fremont; Catherine Katie (Keith) Vogel of Fremont; Stephen (Laura) Ward of Denver, Colorado.
