Mary worked hard all her life loving and raising her children and helping with grandchildren. She worked a number of jobs over the years, but after her children were grown, she worked at the Pizza Oven in Solomons for 10 years and then Port of Call Liquors 35 years. She was President of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Dept. for 20 years since her husband Jimmy, two sons and eventually her daughter were all members. One of her favorite things in the world to do was to play bingo. She could watch a table full of cards and yours too! She was a great cook and would whip up an amazing feast just about every Sunday. There was always plenty and would make room for whoever would walk in at dinner time! She was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
