Mary Henderson, Kentucky native and long-time resident of Akumal Norte, died early Sunday morning.
Many of you know Mary from her years as a diver;
many know her from the First Friday gatherings where Best Shirt awards were handed out;
others know her as a marathon luncher.
We of AkumalNow know her as a contributor and friend.

I feel so fortunate to have had this amazing woman pass through my life.
She will be so missed.

My name is Sandy Bolinger from Louisville KY, Mary & I were very good friends here. I am just shocked to read that she died. I would love to hear from someone in Akumal, I wish I knew Spanish so I could talk with Pablo, who I know Mary thought of as family, she thought the world of him. Please if someone could call, text or send me a phone number so I could call you & talk to you.

Words cannot express how sad I am to hear of Mary’s passing. I last saw her in August, 2022 when she attended the memorial service for my husband, Pat, at Casa Maleno. Having lunch or dinner with Mary was always an absolute MUST with EVERY visit. Her charm and wit were so amazing, and she was just a “down home” type of person to all her were blessed to know her. If anyone reading this would please give my deepest condolences to Pablo, I would appreciate it very much!
Darling Mary….I will miss you so! Our first Christmas with you at Nicte-Ha was so special in 1994. Our Kentucky Derby parties, Our trips together to Chicago, Our lunches together with Hollis every year, our card games…….Akumal will never be the same dear friend, but now I’m thinking of you in heaven with Robin….I’ll bet you’re having a ball!
