On June 3, 2024, Mary J. Stromnes passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, at the
age of 91.
Mary was born to Reuben and Ora (Sanford) Hulett on October 17, 1932, in Hixton, Wisconsin,
where she grew up and later graduated from Hixton High School in 1950.
After high school, Mary worked a variety of jobs while raising her three children until she met
Richard Stromnes, the love of her life. Mary and Richard were then blessed with two more
children.
Throughout her career as a Home Health Aide, Mary touched countless lives with her kindness
and dedication, serving communities in Wisconsin and Arizona with unwavering compassion.
Outside of work, Mary was very active in her church community. Additionally, her creative spirit
shone brightly through her remarkable talents in artistry. Whether she was sketching, engrossed
in poetry, or dancing, Mary found joy in expressing herself and sharing her passions with those
around her.
She is survived by her brother, George Hulett, her daughters Diane Harmer, Darci (Tom) Huth,
and Denise Stahl, and her son Lance Stromnes. Mary’s memory will also be cherished by
numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Richard Stromnes, parents Rueben and Ora, her twin
brothers, Leslie and Lester Hulett, her sister Alice Frankie, and her son Les Bowen.
A celebration of Mary’s extraordinary life will be held at a later date.
