She lived a life of love, not just for her family but had a generous spirit toward those who knew her. She was a peacemaker and lived a life of kindness toward others. She had a warm heart and home, a welcoming way and enjoyed throwing parties celebrating life's happy moments. Mary taught her children the value of family, respect, and kindness. She was always giving, and always finding ways to show her love. Suffering from poor health, Mary found a way to be lovable even with the myriad of challenges she faced.
