Memories and Condolences
for Mary Boshanski

Not sure what to say?





I worked with "Bo" many years ago, as a new grad RN in Mercer Hospital OR. She helped me cash my first paycheck ever! I loved her for her kindness as well as her great sense of humor. Although I have not been in touch for years, I am still feeling her loss. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.

A dedicated lady and nurse anesthetist for so many years at Mercer Hospital, Mary was kind and caring to all. Co-worker and friend. Sympathies to her family.

I stumbled upon Mary's obit by accident today and was saddened to read of her passing. I lived above her in the apartments on Parkside Ave. for several years. Mary was a kind soul and always went out of her way to be nice to me and my boys. I especially remember her baked goods and conversations sitting on the outside steps during warm Ewing evenings. I kept in touch with her for several years after moving away, but sadly, lost touch in recent years. My condolences to Mary's family and friends. She was a good soul.
