Mary had a liveliness and zest for life.  She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved cooking and baking for her family and friends.  She enjoyed traveling over the years with family and friends and loved her visits with family at the Jersey shore.  She possessed an abundance of wisdom, strength, determination, and compassion for others.  She could complete any task or project that came her way.
