The Matriarch of her family, Mary was a very loving, kind, generous and caring spirit to everyone she met. A woman of great faith, she was an active member of her local parish, Holy Name of Jesus R.C. Church, located in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn. Throughout her life, in addition to raising her many children, Mary volunteered her spare time to support various charitable and community causes including service as a teacher of Religious Education at Holy Name of Jesus School, as President of the Columbiettes Division for the local Knights of Columbus Chapter, for the Girls Scouts of America, St. Saviour High School, and, along with her husband James, as co-chairperson for the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Holy Name of Jesus Grammar School.

Above all, Mary devoted her life to loving her family, supporting and counseling them, and providing a warm and loving home. Mary never tired of being a source of support to family and friends alike in times of need. She was, in a word, exceptional. Her family is eternally grateful to have had her in their lives for so many years, and bearing witness to true kindness and thoughtfulness for others. Mary’s legacy lives on in all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and her love will remain near and dear within their hearts always.
