I worked with Mary. She was such a wonderful and unique person. She knew how to brighten up even the darkest days and inspired all of us.
Mary, you will be deeply missed.

I loved and admired Mary more than words can say, She was the personification of courage, determination and dignity and brought all of those qualities (including a large dose of humor) to anyone lucky enough to have shared any part of her life with her. She gave herself whole heartedly to those she loved. It was as if she somehow knew all along that her time here would be cut short so she stuck with the important stuff....family, friends, loved ones...such an inspiration to all of us..we would all do well to honor and remember her legacy.

Mary my hard fighting cousin I will never forget the fight you fought.I can only admire what you went thru and how you handled it the few times I saw you when you were sick. I will always remember the games we played togeather growing up next to each other, Chutes and Ladders was always your favorite, and mine was Candyland. Mary you are finally at peace with the ones you always loved, and remember your love will carry on with everybody that was lucky enough to know you during your life. You will be missed by many!! Love always cousin Jim

I worked with mary, her humor was infectious. She once told me her middle name which she hated and asked me to forget it, which I did. Her love for her family came first, she was so proud of her grandson she showed his picture to everyone. I miss her
