Much of the world knew and loved Mary (MTM) from her time as Dick’s wife on the Dick Van Dyke show in the 1960s, from her role as one of television’s first single career women on her own ground-breaking TV show in the 1970s, and from her Oscar-nominated role in the movie Ordinary People in 1980.
But many of us know Mary for something more important. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the early 1970s, MTM became a passionate advocate for those living with this terrible disease.
She openly and honestly discussed her life experiences with T1D and served as the public face of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (now JDRF). Her efforts helped raise millions of dollars for diabetes research, while she served as a role model for a million kids living with this disease.
RIP, MTM. Looks like you made it after all.
