Mary Alice (Klinger) Radatti, 71, passed away in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Thursday, July 2, 2026.

Mary was born on Tuesday, June 14, 1955, in Seoul, Korea, as Tae Lan Lee. She was rescued through Holt International Orphanage and later World Vision before being adopted into the United States by the Burgess family. She was later adopted by William S. Klinger and D. Helen (Boles) Klinger, who lovingly raised her.

Mary grew up in West Linn, Oregon, and attended Clackamas Community College before earning her Bachelor's Degree in Speech Communication from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

A gifted musician, Mary was a professional pianist whose talent brought joy to many. She served as a temporary pianist for St. Pius Catholic Church in Tulsa and delighted holiday shoppers by performing Christmas music for several years near Dillard's at Woodland Hills Mall.

Mary was also an entrepreneur who cherished the restaurant she owned and operated with her husband, John, Mom'a Mia Tomato Pie Pizza Shop in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Although the restaurant ultimately closed during the COVID pandemic, it remained one of Mary's proudest accomplishments and held a special place in her heart.

Dedicated to helping others, Mary worked for Kelly Services, assisting individuals in Tulsa, Bixby, and surrounding communities in finding employment. She participated in numerous local job fairs and was passionate about connecting people with opportunities to improve their lives.

One of Mary's favorite songs was "I Speak Jesus" by Charity Gayle. She found joy in life's simple pleasures, especially going to the movies and watching the birds gather at her feeders. Mary had a loving heart and never met a stranger. She loved everyone she knew, and in return, everyone who knew her loved her. Her kindness, warmth, and caring spirit will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
