She was a graduate of St. Elizabeth School of Nursing in Utica, NY and received her Bachelor’s degree at Boston College. She had a career as a pediatric nurse practitioner prior to being a stay at home mom.

Mary’s life was full of doing things she loved such as reading, cooking, tending to her garden, journaling, attending concerts and live theater and especially caring for her many pets. Mary was a three time cancer survivor. She never gave up hope during her treatments and recovery. Her perseverance was an admirable trait throughout her entire life. From small town Sauquoit, NY, to moving all around New England, she was strong and dedicated to her family as it grew.
