Mary S. Fasano

Born in Patrick Springs VA, Mary grew up on a farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and graduated first in her high school class. She attended National Business College in Roanoke VA. Her career included clerk at the FBI, as well as office manager and receptionist for her husband’s dental practice in West Roxbury. After retirement, she was a part-time clerical assistant at the Norwood Fire Department. Mary taught Sunday school at the United Church of Norwood for many years.
