She used to my 1st grade teacher at Vandalia, I remember she would bring her Mother to school and she would give us peanuts when we would listen. I talk about that all the time to my niece and daughter. Condolences to her family.

Mary was a very kind person. Our families meet In New York when our daughters went to NYU together. They were fun times for both families. We met again at my daughters wedding in 2015. Leo & Mary were there to help us celebrate. It has been our privilege to have know her. May God give Leo and his family strength during this tough time and may Mary RIP with the angels till we meet again.
