Mary Ross, inducted some years ago to the Silicon Valley Engineering Council’s Hall Of Fame recently died at the age of 99. She was born when few women had the right to vote, own property, seek an education or career. It was a time and place divided by hate and race. A founding member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), her love of technology and support of women’s contribution to it is her legacy. Text From DJ Cline.

The Oklahoma Memorial Service for Mary will likely be scheduled at the Cherokee complex. For more information contact:
