Mary was the matriarch of her family and will be lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews and extended family. She lived a vibrant life and was deeply rooted in the Church. She was a member of St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic Church's CWL since 1955 and held many positions within it, including President and was awarded the Mother of the Year award during that time. In 2010 Mary was honoured for her 20 years of service at the Good Shepherd. Mary was dedicated to keeping family and friends close together and everyone was always welcome in her home.
