Mary was a fun and loving person who enjoyed traveling with family and friends and shopping.  She loved to cruise and some of her memorable vacations were: cruising the Caribbean, traveling through Europe, jaunting through Hawaii.  Her last vacation was a 12-day road trip where she went to Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.  She took her role as Matriarch of our family very seriously and was the glue that kept the family together. Even through her illness, she was right there never complaining.  Mary was very dedicated to her husband, daughter, family and friends.

Mary was a very giving and unselfish person, never one to say no to anyone.  “Our loss is indeed Heaven’s gain.”
