A quintessential stewardess for 35 years, Mary was a devoted attendant to many guests who flew international flights on Pan-American Airlines. She was a voracious reader and a lover of many books; especially romantic novels set in Victorian England. She was a sweet, caring, and loving aunt with a fantastic sense of humor and a vibrant spirit. Though we were sometimes separated by long distances, her presence in our lives was deeply felt and impossible to replace. May her spirit now join those of her two sisters.
