One-time ArlingtonHtsGov first lady remembered as husband's 'common-sense adviser'
A one-time first lady of Arlington Heights is being remembered as the supportive presence in her husband's many community and civic roles during a time of tremendous growth in the village.
Mary Woods, a homemaker and mother of five, accompanied her husband to many functions during his mayoral tenure and in his ensuing years of service on nonprofit and corporate boards. That included the board of directors of Paddock Publications -- publisher of the Daily Herald -- from 1977 until his death.
"She was always a very kind and supportive person, and ready to extend friendship to all of John's associates," Baumann said.
