Mary is remembered for having a heart of gold and loving others unconditionally. She was quick to forgive others and was always available to share her wisdom and give advice when needed. Mary found peace at the ocean. The salty breeze and the sound of waves crashing gave her comfort. Mary loved music, her favorite being Elton John but she enjoyed all types of music. The sound of laughter would always lift Mary's spirit, whether it was her own or the voices of others.
Mary was also a woman of strength and determination. Even as her earthly body began to fail she never wanted others to feel sorry for her. She remained a fighter to the end.
Mary leaves an example and a legacy to be remembered and cherished by her husband of 35 years, Ralph along with her children Walt, Lisa, Brandon, step-daughter Tiffany and her 6 beloved grandchildren.
