I first met Mary when I started working at the Ohio Masonic Home, where she was the Receptionist, and Telephone Operator. Mary was on the ball taking calls, giving pages over the PA system and directing people. As I got to know her, she became a friendly, familiar face always willing to help with whatever I needed. Sometimes, if I was on that end of campus, I would just stop in to say "hello" and I always got that beautiful, smile of hers. We talked about kids and family, and jobs! Rest In Peace, Mary, you deserve it! It was great to get to know you!!!
