Happily married for 57 years, Mary and James had four children – Michael William Karaus, Steven James Karaus, Arnold (Arnie) Alan Karaus, and Cynthia (Cindy) Michelle Karaus Holtmeyer. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband James Karaus, son Michael Karaus, sister Patricia Rickabaugh, and brother Frederick McCrickard.
