Mary attended Santa Paula Union High School and Ventura College. She was a dedicated, hard worker and took pride in whatever capacity she was in. She was employed by numerous agencies including Mupu Citrus Packing House, California Department of Motor Vehicles, Youth Employment Service and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. Mary retired after 18 years of employment from the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, where she served so graciously. Mary was extremely proud of her time at the DA’s office.

During her free time Mary enjoyed gardening, reading, shopping and cheering on her favorite two teams, the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers. She would always make sure she was home on time to watch her teams play. Mary loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren & great-grandchildren. She was funny, loved to make others laugh and the life of any social gathering.

We would like to acknowledge & give thanks to Mary’s grandson, Javi for always being at her side and attentive to her needs.
