Mary enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.  She loved to crochet, making everyone an afghan.  She included making afghans for family members that were not even born yet.  Her great great grandchildren will all be getting them.  What a wonderful treasure to pass down.

Mary had a kind soul and always gave you a smile, a hug or a kiss.  She lived in Worcester her whole life, working many years at Astra Pharmaceutical which she retired from in 1986.  Her faith was a big part of her life as she will be remembered and missed by many.
