Mary M. Resendiz
Mary Magdalena Resendiz, 87, passed away on January 16th 2020 in Rochester, MN after a long journey with Alzheimer’s.
Maria “Mary” Resendiz was born on, October 29th 1932 in Edinburg, Texas. She was the firstborn child of Lauro and Margarita Resendiz. In 1950 Mary and her family moved to Crookston MN. While in Crookston she was employed as a nursing assistant at Bethesda Hospital. Soon after they moved to Akley, Mn. Mary then relocated to Rochester, MN where she spent the majority of her life.
Mary worked at the Rochester Methodist Hospital for 28 years before retiring. She was loved by all her coworkers and built many lasting friendships among them which she truly cherished.
After retirement she moved to Cass Lake, MN to care for her mother who was diagnosed with cancer. She stayed in Cass Lake for about seven years then moved to Minneapolis to reside with her niece Juliann Laabs. Mary always considered Juliann more of a daughter than a niece, and the two of them shared a very special bond.
After her disease progressed, she moved to Cottagewood Senior Community in Rochester where she spent the remainder of her days.
She will be remembered for her untiring work ethic, having the kindness and compassion of an angel and for her sweet smile which brightened the path of all who encountered her.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Lauro and Margarita, three infant siblings Nachito, Enrique, Roberto and also by three adult brothers: Lauro Jr, Ventura Ernesto, Jesus Oscar and nephew Leslie Laabs.
Mary will be greatly missed by her four siblings and siblings in law she leaves behind; Cristina (Lauro Jr), Margarita, Noemi (Philip Green), Humberto (Roleen Walgenbach), and Gilberto (Alice Resendiz), and her special niece Juliann Laabs. Mary leaves behind nieces and nephews; Robert, Rosa, Ricardo, Rebecca, Ruben, Rita, Kimberly, Brenda, Marie, Linda, David, Tony, Steve, Nancy, Sue, Ruth, Alex, Marisol, Fabian, Juan and many grand nieces and nephews.
The funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church 1114 3rd St. SE in Rochester with Rev. James Berning officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Mary’s earthly ashes will be laid to rest next to her parents at Oakwood Cemetery in Rochester.

I worked with Mary at the Methodist Hospital. Very kind and a hard worker. I remember she also liked to eat lemons. Sympathy to you and your family.
My deepest sympathy. I worked up on the floor at the Methodist Hospital with Mary. I truly enjoyed Mary so much. So caring and loving!
I believe there are Angels among us and I also believe Mary was one of them. Now she is home where she can take care of all of us at once. She worked so hard on this Earth to give us all of her love and kindness. I will hold you in my heart always...and thank you for taking such good care of my dog, Shanghai!
Mary was a very special lady who brought joy to this world.
Our loving condolences.
