Mary was a master of loving her children, family and friends around her. She loved taking care of children and was a mother figure to many. She was the strongest woman anyone could have ever met. She wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. She was our fierce Mama Bear. Until her condition made it impossible Mary was an unstoppable woman. She would always keep herself busy. She loved to cook, kept an immaculate house, was highly skilled with knitting and enjoyed her favorite morning show Price is Right. Memorial Services will be announced later by the family. The family would like to thank, Star Hospice, Texas Home Health, Nurses Unlimited, Dr. Madhu and staff, and her nurse Crysti McDonald who visited her weekly for many years.
