Mary Travers funeral

Mary Travers funeral
Mary Travers' funeral has not been announced yet, as it could take a while before the Mary Travers funeral lays the folk star to rest. Although one site says that the Travers funeral is today, that is not likely, since Mary Travers died just two days ago. But as people wait for news of aMary Travers Funeral Rumored to Be Today Travers funeral, the music world and hippies alike are still mourning the death of a key member of one of folk rock's greatest bands. In the meantime, some of Travers' most famous songs are being remembered by her fans, and fans of Peter, Paul and Mary as a whole, as their legacy spans a great part of the 60's, 70's and beyond.
Mary Travers funeral plans have not been made official yet, although the website Khabrein.info says it would be held today. Since Mary Travers died just two days ago, it would be a pretty quick time for a funeral, even though her death from leukemia was expected for a while. So for now, no official funeral plans have been announced yet for Mary Travers, who died on Wednesday at 72. Perhaps some ceremony might be held today, but no one in the loop has confirmed it yet. Without that, it is hard to say for sure when any funeral service would be.
The likes of "Puff the Magic Dragon", "If I Had A Hammer" "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and many more hits of the '60s and '70s wouldn't have been possible without Mary Travers, and her collaborations with Peter Yarrow and Noel "Paul" Stookey. Travers is the first one of the famed Peter, Paul and Mary group to die, after a long fight with leukemia. As usual, especially this year, a famous death has to come at about the same time as another celebrity or two dies. This time, Travers died just a few days after actor Patrick Swayze died, after his own long bout with pancreatic cancer.
