She spent her lifetime caring for others and bringing happiness to all her family and friends. Mary was a beautiful person inside and out, whose smile was so stunning that it would light up the whole room when she walked in. She was akind and passionate soul who cared so deeply for the people around her. She worked so tirelessly to make Christmas and holidays special for all her family members.  Whether it was preparing amazing meals, getting gifts, or dropping everything to help her family, Mary would move mountains to ensure her family was happy and would always be the last at the dinner table. Mary was a member of Christ Church at Grove Farm and loved her church family.
