Mary was born February 5, 1928, the daughter of David and Marcella (Laban) Gravel in Worthington. She graduated from Coggon High School in 1946. On April 30, 1951, she married Donald A. Prull. He died May 7, 1979.
She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Prairieburg and St. Joseph's Altar and Rosary Society. Mary loved the farm, cooking and canning. She believed family was just beneath God and family gatherings were a must. She wanted to send a thank you to over 100 people who were able to attend her party on July 1, 2007; but time did not allow for that. Her passion was Christmas and all the preparations. We all loved our “Christmas Queen.”
