So sad to hear of your passing.  You were a loving wife to Jimmy, an excellent mom to Jen and Jamie, and a dear friend to me.  It's been years since we've spoken but I've thought of you often.  You were a great influence in my life and I was lucky to work with you and have you as my friend.   I'm sorry we never had our phone call to catch up on each other's lives.  I will miss you.

Mary was the most loving, warm, generous and inclusive person you could meet.  Her generosity not only extented to those closest to her, but to all she came into contact with.  I do not have words to express how her presence in the world created a sense of family and acceptance to her adopted waifs and strays. 

Mary loved life, fun, travel, casino, and above all, family.  Mary will be missed tremendously by all who knew her.  Her bright light will shine on in all that had the fortune to know her.   Mary will forever remain in our hearts and  memories; her impact will not be diminished by her passing.

Love always,

Mary, Colin, Fiona & Aiden.

Mary, you had an incredible talent for many things.   You were kind,
generous, caring, and witty.   It was a pleasure being in your company and 
calling you sister-in-law.   We will miss you very much.  You will remain in 
our hearts forever.   
 We love Mary.  God bless you.

Mary and I worked together at Mt. Sinai Hospital in pediatrics.  We instantly became best friends.   We spent countless wonderful hours together until I moved to Canada.  She was so kind, generous and had a amazing sense of humor.  We managed to keep in touch over all the years but not often enough. 
I will always treasure the friendship we shared and her fantastic smile.

RIP Aunt Mary.  We will miss you.  
Much love,
Lotus

Dear Aunt Mary,
Thank you for always being so kind and generous.  I will forever cherish the memories of all of us meeting up in the city and listening to your remarkable stories over a cold Guinness, of the time you lived there. There wasn't a street that we went down that you didn't have an incredible memory to share.  Although I will miss you dearly, I find peace in the fact that you and Uncle James are reunited. 
Rest in Peace, Aunt Mary.
Much love,
Alex 

That part of my soul that is nourished by the love of others has been damaged by the loss of my dear cousin Mary Catherine, Mary meant much to me. I felt uplifted whenever I was with her, spoke on the phone or even when I just thought of her. Every year, when I was a child we would travel to Chapel Street  for a two week vacation. My brother Johnny, Franny, myself  Mary and her dog Spot would engage in all sorts of mischief. Every evening the old folks  would sit around the kitchen table downstairs reminiscing and drinking jugs of beer, carried up from Dructors Bar .We would  terrorize them  from the upstairs bedrooms.Mary who often enough  was the ringleader was spared the rod because, " Mary could do no wrong." It was during that  time that our bonds were made. Mary lived a meaningful life , She endured tragedy,took care of others, and raised a wonderful family, She did all this and kept a humble, joyful and loving concern. I feel privileged to have been nourished by that love. 

Mary was not only my sister-in-law but also my good friend.
She was both generous in giving gifts and sharing her time with others.    I will miss her dearly, especially our phone conversations and her sense of humor. 
 Rest In Peace Mary.  Till we meet again. 
 With much love, 
 Joyce 

Aunt Mary Catherine always asked me if I took a ride up Chapel Street to tell her if anything had changed.  I think the one time we were on the phone for about 2 hours.  Are time n the phone had shorten quite a bit.  More times in the hospital and more time in rehab and less time on the phone.  Good night  Mary.

Mary, You have been a loving and proud parent and grandparent to Jennifer, James, Jen, and Jamie. We remember your wonderful caring and attentiveness to Debbie at difficult times. The Rowley family, especially our daughters, have been grateful for your love and friendship.  Rest in lasting peace.
Love, 
Martin & Anne

Jen & Jim, I met your Mother through JoAnne, and we enjoyed cruises to Alaska and Greece, as well as a trip to Germany.  She was a delight to be around.    My thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

My Aunt Mary was a wonderful, fun, and generous person. Since she moved to Annapolis I had the privilege of spending significant time with her. I have wonderful memories of going to her community pool, getaways to Rehoboth, and enjoying delicious baked ziti dinners with her. She will be greatly missed.

My Aunt Mary knew how to make a get together fun – talking about some surprising subjects, showing up with food and treats, choosing the perfect B&B on the Jersey shore for St. Patrick's Day celebration. She was extremely generous and encouraged a good time - sponsoring dinners, theatre outings, and travel. I am grateful for the memories I have of visiting in East Meadow, Pittston, and Annapolis.

Mary, you left us too soon.  You were the kindness,  most caring, 
Generous person I know.  I will miss you, my dear friend and neighbor. Hugs, Rhea

Oh, all the great memories - Friday nights on Chapel Street, vacations at Lake Carey, train rides to New York (Arden Street), our trips abroad, hockey games at the Arena, and lately our relaxing time at Rehoboth. So much fun together.

Mary was the kindest and most generous person I know, always thinking of and caring for others - family, friends, neighbors. You will be greatly missed.

Love you, miss you, may you Rest In Peace. ❤️

Mary was my best friend spanning over 55 years. Any time spent with her was always an adventure! We laughed, we cried, we celebrated, we ate, we watched movies, we talked and talked and talked!!! 
My friend, you are greatly missed, life will be less without you , but oh the memories we made, those will live on forever!!
Good bye my sweet friend......
