Mary was an excellent homemaker her entire married life. She liked to cook and do gardening. She liked to sew and made beautiful outfits. She was very talented. She loved going to Atlantic City and working those slot machines. She even liked to go fishing with her family and usually got all the fish or at least the biggest. She liked the Jersey Shore boardwalk and playing those wheels. But most of all, she loved taking care of her husband and her children. She had so much love and would always shower them with hugs & kisses. She was a wonderful wife & mother & grandmother. She was a strong woman and survived many obstacles over the years. She had a great will to live – even up to her last breath. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends and those who cared for her.
