Mary was a faithful member of St. Theresa Catholic Church, where she found comfort and strength in her Faith. She worked for Sam's Club for over 20 years, where she was known for her kindness and hard work. Mary was an avid reader and loved entertaining. She was an excellent cook as well.
She is survived by her loving son, Paul Grimes and daughter-in-law, Sarah; her grandchildren: Rory Andrew Grimes and Dorothy Maura Grimes; as well as her sister, Ann Harte. She was preceded in death by her son, Andrew Grimes; her husband, Larry Grimes; as well as her brothers: Patrick Harte and John Harte.
