Mary loved teaching and her beautiful garden. God speed Mary.

Condolences to Mary's family and friends.
I was one of those nuns Kay Weaver refers to. While earning my high school teaching certificate, my master teacher was Dorothy Wallin, Mary's sidekick. I treasure our conversations in "the closet" with both of these highly professional and much-admired instructors.

Mary and I were the only lay teachers at St. Mary's Academy in the mid 1960s. The nuns were still in full habit and were not supposed to eat with lay people! So for morning breaks Mary and I had a closet on the second floor as our 'break room'. She was a diligent and inventive teacher. God speed, Mary. Teach those angels how to derive the quadratic formula! Kay Weaver
