I grew up on Harvey drive from 1954 through 1965 and loved Ms Mary. We lived 2 doors down and my first babysitting job was watching Henry. I remember how fun it was to be around Ms Mary. She always made me feel happy. I remember standing in her kitchen one day when she held out a spoon and wanted me to taste the turtle soup she was making. I was repulsed thinking about the poor turtle! Many years later, turtle soup became one of my favorite soups and it always brought back fond memories of that day with Ms Mary in her kitchen. I also remember churning ice cream in the back of her house with other neighborhood children and snapping the ends of green beans at a neighborhood party, climbing the mimosa tree in the front yard, and showing her how to dance the twist. My mother, Ida Bunker, considered her a great friend and they had many happy times together in their younger years. I am sorry to hear of her passing and will keep her and her loved ones in my prayers.
