Mary was proud of her Irish heritage making St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage.

Later in life she was a personal companion for the elderly and they couldn’t do better.  Mary loved a clean house.  She will be missed by all who knew her.

Mary’s family would like to give special thanks to the ICU staff at St. Vincent’s and to her two friends Julia Cross and Patty Dooley.
