Mary was a kind and gentle lady who put the works “unconditional love” into action each day of her life, with a huge smile.

Mary’s first priorities were her family and prayers. She perfected and dedicated her time to cooking and baking, sewing,

knitting, quilting, dancing, reading and visiting with everyone.

A special thank you to all the staff at Salem Manor, who cared for Mary for five years.

The family wishes to acknowledge, with deep appreciation, the many expressions of love and kindness

from everyone who knew our mother.
