Will always remember you as long as I live Aunt Mary. You and Gert were my Mothers for so many years after Mom died. Seems like everyone is gone now, such a lonely thought. Being in the winter of my life I remember all the fun times our families had together. Love and prayers to you and my other Aunts and Uncles. We had a great family and so many good times together. Hopefully we will meet again in Heaven. Love, Cinda

Sorry I just learned of Mary's passing. I worked with her for one summer in the early 80's when she was the cook at the Hotel and Clam Shell in Sacket's Harbor. I remember that she had a great sense of humor and was an excellent cook. She never hesitated to share a little of whatever she was preparing for the nights meals. I am sure she will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

Sorry for your loss. I had not seen her for a while. Missed playing cards with her (& Gert) @ Leray St. We always had fun on Sunday night's in my mom's (Theresa) apt.You never knew what we would end up talking about. It is hard to believe they are all gone now. Sorry did not make calling hours but trying to get over the flu. Your family is in my prayers.

I will always remember the twinkle in her eye and the quick laugh that Mary shared. It was something that she seemed to have learned from her parents as her siblings all had the same trait and it warmed the heart of Don and Elvah's oldest little boy. Sorry for your loss.

Words can not express how much I loved you,Aunt Mary.I have spent my whole life with you in it. You and Aunt Gert were always there for me after my Mom died 31 yrs ago. I couldn't have asked for more.
I know you are with all of them now. I will miss you. I loved you like a Mom.
