Mary E. Van Alstine, age 82, of Beaver Dam, died peacefully on Sunday, February 1, 2009 at Golden Living Center-Continental Manor in Randolph.
Mary was born on March 31, 1926 in White Plains, New York to Rev. Paul and Mary (nee Jordan) Alden.

Mary was very active throughout her life and her hobbies included: gardening, cooking, reading, knitting, hiking, traveling, swimming, bird watching, camping, crochet and music. Her faith was always important to her and in her younger years she enjoyed singing in the church choir and solo singing. Most recently Mary was a member of
Union-Congregational Church in Waupun. Giving back was always something very important to Mary and she enjoyed her time working with Defenders of Wildlife and National Resources Foundation. In 1985, Mary was honored locally by the Daily Citizen as "Volunteer of the Year" for all of her volunteer community involvement. She was a loving wife and mother and will be deeply missed.
