Mary was a kind and gentle person who loved her family dearly. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with whom she shared a special bond. She always took the opportunity to brag about how proud she was of each of them. When not busy spending time with loved ones, she enjoyed playing bingo or taking a trip to her favorite place, the

Christmas tree store.

Always having the right words, an accepting smile, and a big hug, she made everything ok. Mary will be deeply missed by all who love her.
