Mary was an accomplished tailor and seamstress and loved to design and create ensembles for clients across the country. She continued this endeavor and shared her passion for fashion throughout her life. Her own wardrobe was her showcase, taking great pride in each piece she created and carefully matching the perfect hat to wear to church each Sunday. Spring was special when she created coordinated wardrobes for the entire family, including blazers and sport coats for her boys and her husband and dresses and hats for her girls. She loved to teach people of all ages to sew and explore their own creativity. She is the proud mother of six children, eleven grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
