I worked with Mary at Lord and Taylor and myself and a couple of the other girls used to go visit Mary at home. Unfortunately, I moved to Florida but was always given an update about Mary via my previous co-workers.
Mary was an amazing woman who always took the time to share her knowledge with others. She was a very strong and determined woman; fiercely independent. Mary was also extremely sweet, witty and full of life!
Heaven has gained another Angel! God Bless and may you be comforted by her legacy and the overwhelming pride and joy she had for her family!
