Mary McCullough

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Mary McCullough passed away suddenly Tuesday night from a brain aneurysm. Mary leaves her husband, Mike, of 42 years, two sons, Chris and Raef,  two granddaughters and her mother. She started her career with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Religion seventeen years ago as a sales representative with Brown ROA in Dubuque, Iowa. Mary was consistently the top producing sales person for the company. Five years ago, she was promoted to sales manager were she was responsible for a variety of areas. As a member of the leadership team, she gave input into the overall direction of the company and was a major contributor to HMHRP’s recent growth. Mary’s enthusiasm and energy was contagious and her loyalty and commitment was an inspiration. Over her years with HMHRP, she made many friends with all her customers, and anywhere you go across the country DRE's, Principals, Pastors, and just about everyone in the field of catechesis will tell you they know Mary! She leaves a big hole in our company and she will be greatly missed. I know you join our prayers for her grieving family and for the eternal rest of her soul.

 

We have created an on-line memorial for friends of Mary to view and post condolences and/or stories at http://mary-mccullough.memory-of.com
