Mary owned her own commercial cleaning company for many successful years. In her retirement she loved to crochet, play Cribbage, and watch game shows, especially Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Mary had a green thumb and loved flowers. She was also a fantastic cook. She was a Detroit Red Wing Fan, and loved listening to Big Band and Rat Pack music. However, her passion was her family.
