Lau worked in several League Headquarters       departments from 1985 until her retirement in 2005, including Field       and Educational Services (F&ES), where she was projects supervisor       and secretary of the ARRL Foundation, then a part of the FES       Department, assisting young Amateur Radio operators to secure       college scholarships and administering the prestigious Goldfarb       Memorial Scholarship.

She also contributed technical       assistance in the preparation of the Active Club Primer. She edited       the "At the Foundation" column for QST while she was the Foundation       secretary.              "Mary loved radio, was a hard worker, creative at finding solutions,       would bull-dog things she believed in, was quite enthusiastic about       learning new things, empathetic to anyone who came to her, super       organized, happy to be at ARRL Headquarters, and was - overall a       'glass is half full' type of person," said former ARRL Field and       Educational Services Manager Rosalie White, K1STO.              Lau was named the 2000 Herb S.

She met her husband       Zack, W1VT, at ARRL Headquarters, and she enjoyed many fun operating       activities over the years.              "As a person with a rare, progressive neurological disorder, Mary       had compassion for all those living with disabilities and human       rights for all," her obituary said. "She participated in non-violent       direct action and advocacy efforts with many groups at the local,       state, and federal levels."              In addition to her husband, survivors include three sisters.              A celebration of Life Ceremony will be held Thursday, October 23, at       1 PM at Newington Memorial in the town center.
