Fox News reports that Mary Stocks Martin of Snowflake, Arizona died at the age of 86. She was a teacher for many years who signed her name “MSM” in cursive. Kids often mistook her signature for “M&M” and began giving her M&M candy. She gradually collected a lot of M&M paraphernalia and became known as “the M&M Lady”.
Years before her death, she decided that she wanted to be buried in a casket that looked like an M&M and had one of her sons build it. Martin recently passed on and her family conducted an M&M-themed funeral. Those who attended marked her passing by dropping M&Ms on the casket and dressing in M&M t-shirts.
