Mary McCorry Memoriam

Mary Agnes McCorry The family of Mary Agnes McCorry commemorate the 1 year anniversary Mary's passing. Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1921, Mary lived a dynamic life that included assembling parachutes during World War II. After working for Time Life Inc. and holding various other positions while raising four children, the family moved from Chicago to Phoenix, AZ in 1970, where Mary began a career in credit management for Montgomery Ward. She continued as Credit Manager with the company after relocating to Mission Viejo, California in 1976. Mary was a member of the Parish Council of Women for 30 years. After retirement in 1986, she devoted herself to volunteer work at Mission Hospital for 18 years, and enjoying her passion for bingo, cards and mah-jongg. Mary will always be loved and remembered by Bob, her husband of 67 years, and by their four children, nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. "We do not forget you, nor do we intend. We think of you often and will to the end. Gone and forgotten by some you may be, but dear to our memory you ever will be. You're not forgotten, mother dear, nor ever shall you be. As long as life and memory last we shall remember thee."
