I have been a client of Mary’s for 25 years. My service has always been personal and respectful of me and my wishes. I have referred several people to Mary and the results have been quite satisfactory. Pat C. 


We are very grateful for all the help and guidance Mary has provided over 30 years.  She is very honest and trustworthy. If she doesn’t know the answer, she will find it. She has become a dear friend as well. Thank you, Mary.
-Ron and Judy N.


I appreciate Mary, not only for her financial expertise and experience but also for her very personal interest in our health and our family. She has offered her prayers during a personal health crisis and I truly believe in her sincerity. She is “good people.”  

-Joan D.


It has always been a pleasant experience working with Mary and her staff. I have been a client for several years and their knowledge and professionalism is exceptional. Their ability to communicate and confidence in what they do are two reasons I would recommend them.

Kim S. 



I started out with FS&I when I was referred by a family member. I’ve found the experience thus far to be not only highly professional, but also engaging and educational. Mary is very warm and personable and takes time to thoroughly answer questions and make you more comfortable with investment strategies. I highly recommend FS&I for all your financial planning and investment needs. David F.
