Margaret “Mary” (Brecka) White, age 75, of Baraboo, Wisconsin passed away Friday, January 23, 2026, at her home with loved ones by her side.
Mary was born August 6, 1950, to Adolf and Ursula (Fichner) Brecka. She graduated from Baraboo High School and went on to work as an administrative support specialist in the Sauk County planning and zoning department where she retired in 2010 after 38 years. Mary married the love of her life, Dennis White, on December 13, 1969, where they had one son, Jason, in 1972.
Mary enjoyed sewing, knitting, and crocheting. She loved to travel which included a cruise to Alaska, trips to Germany to visit family and countless trips down south. She also thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife in her backyard. Most of all, she loved being with friends, having a cocktail or two! Spending time with her son Jason brought her the most joy!
Mary will be deeply missed by her son Jason (Kris) White, granddaughter Brooke Walter, sisters-in-law Penny (Bob Johnson) Snyder, and Marianne Fichner; brother-in-law Ken (Donna) White; other relatives, and many friends, especially her best friend Ronda Heiser.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband Dennis, parents, brother Joe, and special friend Larry Volz.
Jason and Kris would like to say a special “thank you” to SSM Health at Home Hospice for their exceptional care and compassion!
A celebration of life will be held on March 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Quindts Towne Lounge in Baraboo.

I met Mary through my best friend and cousin, Ronda. We shared our love of dogs and quilting. We went shopping for fabric, had lunches, and enjoyed a few cocktails at the lounge. She had the most sincere and true smile. I will miss her very deeply.
I reconnected with Mary after many years at a ladies luncheon. She was a lovely person and had smile for everyone. The grief a family and best friends go through is something words just cannot express. Memories of Mary will live on in our hearts and minds. However, I am thankful Mary’s suffering is over and is in God’s care now. Prayers and Heartfelt sympathy to the family and all who knew Mary.
I’ll miss her laugh and smile,our Lunch Ladies group met every month. She was a grand lady,so sorry for our loss
