In 1963, Mary and Dick became the proud business owners of the Italian Village Restaurants of Moline and later Rock Island. They changed the Rock Island business to ReQuette’s in the mid 1980’s and they retired in the mid 1990’s. Mary enjoyed her summers with Dick and their family at their lake home in Hackensack, MN on Woman Lake. Mary was a member of Daughters of Isabella and a Eucharistic Minister at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rock Island. Mary had a strong faith and was committed to Catholic values and teachings.

Dick & family,
We were so sorry to hear about Mary Beth. Jim went to first grade with Mary, so our friendship has gone on for 70 years. Even though we live in Arizona, we always looked forward to the Alleman Class Reunions where we could "renew" our friendship with you & Mary Beth every five years. Please accept our deepest condolences. Jim & Skeeter Crupi

The Rockford Illinois family has many great memories of Mary Requet (a very take charge Lady) and the Requet Family (who always made us feel welcome and part of their family and especially Mary’s Mother Marge, who my Dad (Jay Gould) married. Dad loved Marge and her entire family a great deal. We spent many weekends with Marge during and after the last days of Dad’s life in Morrison. She was a great lady and we miss her. – Ray, Mary, and Jennifer Gould.
