I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mary's family and friends. I worked with Mary at the Department of Social Services where I was blessed to make her friendship in 1988.

Mary and I shared a love of flowers and animals and stirring up trouble which would make us both laugh throughout the work day.

I will always remember Mary fondly as a wonderful and helpful co-worker, but also as a friend whom I really enjoyed being around.

Rest in peace Mary , you will be missed and forever remembered as an amazingly strong spirited wonderful person!

My deepest sympathy's to Mary's entire family on her sudden passing. I will always remember for her fun personality and great big laugh. Over the years she brought many good memories and lots of laughs to my parents Warren and Marlene. I know my mom will miss their daily phone conversations. May she Rest in Peace.

I was so saddened to learn of Mary's passing. I worked with her at the state for many years and also spent a lot of time at Jai Alai where my entire family got to meet Mary. We all loved her.
I will miss her and her naughty sense of humor and her infectious laugh . She was one of a kind. I also had the pleasure of meeting Monique. She loved that dog.
My heart goes out to her family and friends during this very sad time.
