The 26-year-old mom of two from Great Falls died after battling stage four lymphoma for 7 months, according to a GoFundMe page started for her family. 

Both people who knew and loved Teller and complete strangers are donating money to support the loved ones she leaves behind. 

Teller lived in Great Falls with her 28-year-old husband, Jack, her 3-year-old daughter, Sienna, and her 9-month-old son, Grady, according to John Santorum, a close family friend. 

Many of those who did have the privilege of knowing Mary posted their dismay on social media.

" [Jack] and Mary were such a beautiful couple. Please, please help him and his children. Their pain is tremendous, but their faith and the way they are planning to celebrate Mary’s life is incredible."

A close friend to the family asked others to join him in properly memorializing Mary's life by supporting her family. 

John Santorum's father, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, even posted on his social media to ask followers to send support to his friends during this unimaginable time. 

The page was started in order to cover the Teller's living expenses and Mary's previous medical bills. John Santorum had hoped to raise $150,000 and has already received over $167,000 for the Teller's husband and two precious kids.
