Mary was a friend who I thought a lot of, we belonged to the same Pinochle club for many years. She was a very good player. God Bless her!

I am so sorry to hear that Mary has passed. She was such a positive influence on the many young people whom had the privilege to have her as a teacher! I worked with Mary at Mundell and Joan Martin schools and have never known a more giving and thoughtful person. Heaven has received a very special lady. Rest peacefully, Mary.
