Mary Teresa (Stull) Darnauer passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital early morning on July 16, 2024, with family at her side.
Mary was born April 23, 1947, to Ronald and Helen (Miller) Stull in Rochester, MN. Mary attended St. Francis of Assisi and Lourdes. Mary was an avid nature enthusiast with a few of her favorites being birds (even the pesky crows), flowers and fossils. Mary had a deep appreciation and connection with the Native American culture attending pow-wows whenever the opportunity presented itself. She shared all her love and passions with her family and friends. Mary also had a soft spot in her heart for animals, especially dogs.
Mary is survived by her two children, Aaron Stull (Minneapolis) and Rena Stull-Owen (Rochester); her sister Susan (Robert) Beilke; niece Terra (Keith) Paulson; and her grandkids Alexis Owen and Malaya, Elijah Owen and Sam Owen.
Mary was preceded in death by both of her parents.
Mary’s celebration of life will be on Sunday, September 29th from 1-3pm at 1081 Felty Ave SE in the community room.
Mary-
It was a pleasure to know you. From being neighbors on 10th Ave. way back in the 90s, to being my best friend’s mom. You were always such a great advocate and voice for animals everywhere and of every kind. Your contagious giggle and humor will be missed. After you greet all those amazing pets you’ve had, go have some coffee with my mom up there in Heaven. You are loved! Rhiannon, Mike, Ashton & Evan Kisch
Mary, I will miss you. I’m sorry I never got to say goodbye. It was a pleasure spending time and taking care of you. I will cherish our talks and laughs we shared. You are free now, no more pain, no more worries. I’m sure Chloe will miss you so much. I remember telling you how ” peaceful” it was at your place and how I looked forward to our rides to the grocery store. I read our text messages recently. I forgot to tell you, I love you too.
I have known Mary since I was 14 years old. We ran around with the same crew and became good friends. Many years later I ran into Mary in Hy Vee one evening and we couldn’t believe how long it had been. Mary was a true friend.
