Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the light of her life. She leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews and Carol Thornhill Pearson.

Mary lived a very full life, gracious and caring. She married Tom during WWII and they moved multiple times. They settled in Houston, Texas where they raised their family. Business moved them to Dallas in the 1970s and on to Tulsa, Oklahoma, again returning to Houston a final time in the early 1980s. After retirement in 1985, they settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma with many friends, golf, volunteering, active in St. Marys Catholic Church, PEO as well as traveling together. Mary relocated to San Antonio in 2004 to be closer to family after Toms passing. She was a breast cancer survivor. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.
