Mary and I were lectors at Saint Leanders for many years. I always enjoyed her insights and enthusiasm.

My prayers for her and her family.

Mary Rea was one of the very first members of the San Leandro Library book group and she rarely missed a meeting...even if she didn't like the book! Speaking as the leader of the group, her insight and humor will be greatly missed by all. My condolences for your loss.
