When I was a kid I remember Mary had this tall doll. One day she took the doll and with it we walked around the neighborhood. I loved her greatly & miss her.

You are missed. You were their for us four kids all through our youth. Your love and kindness got us all through rough times. You always kept in touch. Even though we couldn´t be physically there you always shared your love and opinions of what could assist us. You will Always be missed and loved.

I had the pleasure of spending four years at Cathedral high school with Mary and then four years in Boston State Teachers College. We attended all of the reunions and scholarship luncheons. I can say without any hesitation that Mary was a wonderful, kind, generous, and witty young lady and I was privileged to know her for almost 60 years, and will forever remember her as a friend. Rest in Peace.

Mary was a very special lady. I remember years dropping by the house for milk and cookies after school talking to her and her mom. That was a special time growing up. She will be missed but always remembered.

Mary was a wonderful and caring person. We visited often when we were children. She knew what you needed even if you didn’t. We visited several years ago & it was great to see Mary & Kathleen (my Godmother). I send my sincere condolences to family and friends of Mary. There’s been a space in heaven with her name on it for many years. She will be remembered through all of us.

My sincere condolences to Mary’s family and friends. My siblings and I grew up visiting their house often. Mary was always compassionate and loving to me. We visited her and Kathleen (my Godmother) a few years back and it was wonderful to see how on the ball she was. It’s so hard to loose someone like her. She will be terribly missed.

My heart felt condolences to the Pender family. Mary was my 1st grade teacher at the Pond Plain school, 1963. She will always be remembered as a warm and caring teacher, someone who improved students lives by making learning exciting.
I am sorry for your loss. I will recall her fondly.

I went to State Teachers College, Boston with Mary. I have fond memories of her sweet disposition. And I want to thank her sister for driving Mary to our scholarship brunches every November.
