Mary E. English

Mary E. English, age 88, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 21, 2025, in the comfort of her home in Saratoga Springs, surrounded by the love of her family.

Mary was born on November 27, 1937, in Schuyler, Nebraska, the beloved daughter of the late Henry Flynn and June Binder. She was raised with strong values of family, faith, and hard work, qualities that would guide her throughout her life.

For many years, Mary worked as a dedicated bookkeeper for the Schuyler School District in Nebraska. She took great pride in her work and was known for her attention to detail, reliability, and warm professionalism. Even in retirement, her sharp mind and practical wisdom were admired by all who knew her.

Mary embraced life with joy and personality. She especially enjoyed playing games with family or a good game of bridge with friends, time spent on the golf course, and savoring spicy foods alongside a freshly made margarita. Her quick wit, playful spirit, and unmistakable nickname, “Money Dog”, were cherished by family and friends alike and spoke to her fun-loving, memorable nature.

Above all, Mary treasured her family. She is survived by her loving son, Bruce English (Tracie Olson English); her daughters, Catherine Flynn, Marijo English, Patricia Kosiba (Ronald), and Barbara Stewart (John); her sisters-in-law, Marlene Flynn and Beth Flynn; and her grandchildren, Aidan English, Angela Stocksett, Anthony Bitz (Alysha), Faith English, Hannah Kosiba, and Jackson Kosiba. She was also blessed with great-grandchildren, Dempsey Stocksett; Madisyn Bitz; Sydney Stocksett; Anthony Bitz, Jr. and Emery Bitz, who brought her immense joy and pride. Mary is further survived by many beloved nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will miss her gracious spirit, loving heart, and enduring sense of humor.

Mary was predeceased by her parents; her devoted husband, Webster “Webb” Eugene English; and her brothers, Jack Flynn, James Flynn, Maurice Flynn, and Michael Flynn. Her nieces and nephews: James Flynn, Pat Flynn, Julie Flynn, Laura Flynn.
