Mary’s dream in life was to be a mom, and she excelled at that. She loved her children kindly and deeply. 

Mary’s smile and laugh were contagious. She enjoyed trips to the beach, reading, shopping, cooking, the Cardinals, hydrangeas, and quality time with her family. Mary was a faith filled parishioner of St. Paul Catholic Church, where she was a member of Ladies Sodality. 

Mary’s great joy in life was her career at Barfield/Wentzville Early Childhood Center.
