Mary was born Nov. 21, 1924, south of Mandan, the daughter of Alfred and Rose (Shaner) Helbling. Raised and educated in the area, she married John J. Bullinger Sept. 10, 1946, in St. Anthony. They farmed for several years before moving into Mandan, where May was employed as CNA at the Mandan Hospital for 53 years. She loved her work because it allowed her to do what she was very good at, caring for others.
In her leisure time, Mary enjoyed playing cards, particularly 500 Rummy. She also liked to cook and entertain. She also volunteered for various organizations in the Mandan area. Visiting her daughters and spending time with her beloved grandchildren was also important to her. She was a member of the Medcenter One Care Center Auxiliary, the Catholic Daughters for 52 years and the St. Joseph Circle. She also served as a Eucharistic minister.
Mary is survived by her two daughters and sons-in-law, Joan and Ray Brew, Dickinson, and Laura and Jim Madsen, Deephaven, Minn.; grandchildren, Broque (Michelle) Brew, Burnsville, Minn., Brooke (Bob) Stanley, Dickinson, Bryce Brew (Leanne Bjur), Dickinson, Brittany (Brent) Finnie, Wahpeton, and Seth Madsen, Deephaven; three great-grandchildren, A.J. John Stanley, Dickinson, Brylie Aune Brew, Burnsville, and Gwen Marie Finnie, Wahpeton; four sisters and three brothers-in-law, Maggie Kautzman, Bismarck, Bertha Flink, Mandan, Monica (Nick) Zueger, Mandan, Hildegard (Mel) Palen, Lola, Mont., and John Wetsch, Bismarck; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Stanley (Maxie) Helbling, Mandan, Tom (Janice) Helbling, St. Cloud, Minn., Alfred Helbling, El Cajon, Calif., and Emily Helbling, Mandan; and a special friend and relative, Clara Bullinger, Mandan.
