Mary was a great homemaker, baker and cook for her family as well as a Master Gardener. She enjoyed doing crafts with her friends at St. Patrick Catholic Church in addition to being a member of the Catholic Daughters and the Rosary Society. Mary was also an avid card player. Most of all, she was a wonderful and loving wife, mother grandmother and great-grandmother. Mary will be greatly missed, though her family celebrates her reunion with her beloved, Vincent.
