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.

Mary was a wonderful person that will be greatly Missed by the Silvestrov Family. She was a warm and caring person who always had a wonderful thing to say and was one of the most honest people we ever met. Mary, you will be greatly missed in this life, but we know you are with your many friends that love you.
