She was born on December 2, 1920 in Alton, Illinois. Mary graduated from Clay H.S., B.G.S.U. and taught French for more than 30 years at Bedford H.S.

She touched so many lives and made many friends wherever she went including: the staff at 21st Century Health Spa, Shelly at the Miracle Salon and the wait staff at the Original Pancake House and Bob Evans on Alexis Rd. Mary was such a loving woman and she'll be very, very missed by too many to mention here!!!

It has been an honor knowing Mary for so many years. She was way more that just a client she was my friend. I will truly miss our Saturday mornings together and will treasure my memories of her forever. Heartfelt prayers for her family and friends on her loss.
