As cousins we all went different ways after childhood. But I remember Mary as usually smiling . One time when they came to visit our grandparents. she tried to ride on Cisco the Dalmations back. He wouldn't let her.

To the friends and family of Mary,

I only knew Mary for a short while and that was this semester, at PC, because she was helping me declare my double major later than most students. We talked at least once a week through the last two months of school (whether it was via email or in person) and she was nothing but kind, helpful, and caring. Mary always carried a tremendous smile and showed incredible passion in getting a student whatever they needed. She will be greatly missed, not only at PC, but everywhere.
