I knew Mary through her many years of involvement with the St Petersburg Woman´s Club. She quietly did so much for our Club and our community. Mary was respected and admired by anyone she touched. Mary will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Such a lovely, interesting person and a dedicated musician. She will be greatly missed. Wendy Parker-clarinet
