Marie was my Aunt, and a dear one. And I'll miss her. Just a little anecdote, Marie also used to give my brothers and myself haircuts hair when we were kids, and she always gave us a good cut. I'll always remember funny stories relating to our haircuts when she cut our hair. I also used to stay with her for weekends when my parents were away for a weekend or two, she was always a lot of fun and I always enjoyed being around her and spending time with her. Marie, also had a great sense of humor and I can still remember her laugh. I'll miss Marie, she was a really sweet person and Aunt.

I worked with Mary for many years at McNeil, she was a bright spot in many lives. Always had a no nonsense approach to things and was usually right. We called her "the Old Gray Mare" and she loved it. We were able to take her out for her 80th Birthday at the Chateau and we had such fun. She'll be sadly missed.

I have known Mary since I was 18. I worked with her at Rust Craft and than we worked together and left together from McNeil. She was a very special lady and a great friend. We had many laughs and some tears together. I will never forget all our walks and talks at lunch time and always sharing all the stories of her family and how I used to wait to see new photos. I will miss her waving when I drove by her house on Prospect St. My family and I send you our deepest sympathy and prayers for my dear friend Mary.
Love, Martha, Ellen and Margaret Welch of Norwood, MA.
