It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Mary (Maggie) Sirven on October 31, 2024. Mary was born on May 19, 1932, in the Imperial Valley of California to Swiss immigrants Joseph and Mary Ender. At a young age her family moved to the Auburn Valley in Washington where she worked hard on the family dairy farm. She was the second of five children.

Mary met the love of her life, Teddy Sirven, in the late 50’s and they started a family of their own. That did not stop Mary from providing support to her parents by continuing her work on the farm. She was a strong, hardworking woman with determination to get what she wanted.

Mary touched many hearts throughout her long life of 92 years. Wherever she went she made people smile and was willing to open her arms in a warm hug. She was carefree and playful and made others feel loved.

Mary was predeceased by her parents Joe and Mary Ender, husband Teddy Sirven, brother Joe Ender and two sisters Lena Silvernail and Mary Stewart. She is survived by her sister Josephine Norris, her three daughters Roxy Jensvold, Denise Sirven-McSheery, and Mary Jo Shipley, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.

She will be laid to rest with her beloved husband at Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn, Washington.

In lieu of flowers, please make online gifts in memory of Mary (Maggie) to the Dementia Society of America www.DementiaSociety.org/donate.

Although Mary is no longer with us, her legacy of laughter and compassion will live on.
