She loved to spend time with friends and family, as she hosted many celebrations and holidays throughout the years. Mary had a passion for bringing her loved ones together and cooking for them. Some of her ‘famous’ dishes included lasagna and manicotti. In her spare time, she loved to crochet, play cards, and read. Mary had a very generous and loving spirit, and was cherished by those around her. She will be greatly missed.
