In Memory of Mary Taylor Hurst

Mary Taylor Hurst

July 22, 1944 – February 7, 2021

Mary was a camper at Clearwater in 1956, 1962, and a counselor in 1963. She and her family often attended Family Camp as well. She was very active in many outdoor sports in her childhood, as well as a musician playing the piano and flute. Mary went to Northwestern University for her undergraduate degree and then to the University of Wisconsin for her MBA in finance. Later in life, she returned to the University of New Mexico for an undergraduate degree in music. She was most proud of this accomplishment. Mary worked as an auditor and tax accountant most of her adult working life. Between employers, she spent eleven years working as the Assistant Director of the UNM Music Prep School. Working with children and music were her greatest joys.
