Family was everything to her and she was always surrounded by her siblings, extended family, children and grandchildren. Mary enjoyed gardening, but flowers were her passion. Extensive gardens surrounded their home. She was also an accomplished and prolific seamstress. In addition, her knitted and crocheted afghans and sweaters have become treasured family heirlooms. Her other passion in life was her cats. She could never be without them and there was always a cat in her lap.
