Mary was a loving, caring, tender hearted, wife, mother and grandmother. She believed in staying physically fit and being active. Tennis was her sport of choice.

She was a devout Catholic and made sure that her family was brought up in the faith. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am on Saturday, September 1, 2018 at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 4101 Clyde Park Ave. SW, Wyoming, with Fr. John Vallier officiating.

It was my pleasure to play tennis with Mary in Pelican Landing. She was a good competitor and fun to play with. I loved the little “ chirp" she made when she hit the ball. My heart goes out to her family who are suffering such a devastating loss.
