Mary was a member of our book club. She was witty, intelligent with a wonderful sense of humor. She shared with us many experiences with her unique perspective. Mary was special and it was very clear within many of her comments how very much she loved her family. I am very sorry that I can't attend the services but please know I very much valued her. Mary will be missed. Rest in peace dear Mary. You were loved.

I am so sad to hear of Mary’s passing.  She was a wonderful person.  We used to meet every month to celebrate birthdays. But we met much less in the last few years.  She was a wonderful person!  Hugs to her family ! Marge Clarke

To Mary's family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with Mary at the middle school and she was one of the nicest people I had ever met. She loved the impish behaviors of kids. They made her laugh and giggle under her breath. She was such a hard and efficient worker in the library and never once complained about anything in life! She always inspired me to be more positive. I will always remember her smile and quick effort to make others feel welcome. I send prayers of peace that all of you will find comfort in the memories you shared with Mary.   She was one of a kind.  Laura Rakowski-Cole

I am so very sorry to hear of Mary’s death. Mary was my teaching assistant many years ago. She was wonderful to work with always seeing what needed to be done.  She adored our preschoolers and was quick to offer reassurance and encouragement to them.
May the angels welcome you dear friend, Sylvia Rogers

We are so saddened to hear of Mary's passing. We will miss her smile, stories and wisdom that she brought to our Faith Study group at St. James. She is the true meaning of God's love. Paul and I are also honored to have shared our wedding anniversary with her and Leon.  May the Angels welcome you to Paradise Mary.  Prayers and love for Leon and  the whole family.🙏🙏

Mary gave so much love and caring to others, her presence among the people of St. James will be greatly missed. My prayers also go out to Mary’s husband Leon and her family.

Leon, Shawn, Ray, Matt,
My heart breaks to learn of Mary’s passing. She will be missed for her gentle ways, her laughter.  Prayers for you all. 🙏🏻
