She was an LBL Senior Scientist and UC Berkeley Physics Professor from 1981 until she retired. Mary K was a theoretical physicist of great power, gifted with both deep physical intuition and a very high level of technical mastery. She used her gifts to great effect and made many important contributions to the development of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, that was established precisely during the course of her career. She will surely be remembered when the final history of elementary particle physics is written.
