Mary Lynn Wallace On December 7, 2023, at 11:02 PM PST, Mary Lynn Wallace, Age 65, passed away peacefully in her sleep after a 4-year long battle with cancer at, "Evergreen Hospice house", located in Albany, OR. She had amazing hospice nurses, who took most excellent care of her, till she passed. They would always say how amazing her attitude was and how she always had a smile, even after all she had been through. On September 5, 1958, Mary was born a fraternal Twin, in San Francisco, CA. Daughter to William Fredericks and LeOra Fredericks-Sandifer. In addition to her parents, she was Predeceased by sister Jenny Lowe and brothers Walter Fredericks, and William Fredericks Jr. Survived by her husband Robert James Wallace, twin sister Rose Arington-Martin, sister Leroyce Roush, daughters Faith Wallace and LeOra Fulks, and grandchildren Codey Back, Megan Back, and Harley Fulks. Mary married Robert on December 31, 1977, settling in Modesto California. They bought their first home together, and started a family, where she made many happy memories. They would have celebrated 46 years of marriage on December 31st 2023. Mary became a graduate of Pedigree, from ABC Technical College in Tucson, AZ. In 1992, where they lived for a short year before moving back to Modesto. At the end of 2019 Mary was Diagnosed with terminal cancer. After Covid shutdowns, and the Oregon Wildfires of 2020, Mary and her husband’s second home burnt down. Her home and property, every material possession with attached memories collected throughout her life journey with her husband, family, and friends was lost. Even though the odds were against her with cancer and having lost everything to a fire she was still very happy and optimistic. Mary would be described by the people who knew her, as a woman who, while knowing the battle she was facing ahead, would remain supportive and ready to help the ones she loved. Being the strong-willed woman she was, she always spoke her mind and never swayed from being true to who she was. Beautiful at heart and a fighter until she passed! There will be no formal Services. Mary was cremated, as per her wishes, and taken home on December 18, 2023. I would like to ask anyone who has photos or videos of Mary L. Wallace from any part of her life to please email them to LeeOraBinx@outlook.com. Dearest Mary, it was a blessing to share a 'twin surprise' for Mom and Dad.

Till we meet again, so I can tell you all about it. Miss you terribly. Thank you for being my mother. Love Faith Marie.
