My mother was the greatest mom in the world. She loved spending time with her children who visited her, hugged her and made her laugh. She loved going to Hawaii and traveling with Donna, Eric, Roy, Patrick and myself around the United States.
She was a very strong minded person, always on the go, and ready to help anyone in need. She will be greatly missed but always remembered for her smile.

I was hired as an inspector at Sikorsky in February 1978 in Mary's department. She was the sweetest woman, always with a smile on her face. I'll always remember how thrilled she was when I brought her onto the aircraft to see where the harnesses she built were installed. She was a special lady and I will truly miss her.
