I was fortunate to know Mary and work with her in her capacity as Chief Development Officer of the League.  She had a very outgoing and vibrant personality, and I really cannot begin to describe all of her positive attributes.  What impressed me the most was her desire to move forward, no matter what obstacles were put in her way.

 

I remember sitting with her at a Hamfest.  After the 10th ham that stopped to talk with her said that they owed her a check (ARRL Donation), I said “How do you DO that?”  Somehow, she did, and she did it very well!

 

I remember many Donor Dinners at Dayton with her inspiring talks from the podium.

 

She will be truly missed.

 

Rest in peace, Mary.

It is with great sadness that I share the news of Mary Hobart’s passing.  Many of you personally knew her as she served as ARRL’s Chief Development Officer for many years.  Rick Lindquist is working on a story but I wanted to share the news with you directly.

 

Please see the link for Mary’s obituary.
