Beth, Barbara, Cathy and Eric,
Kudos to you for a spot-on humorous obituary!
Living with and through all of Mary's trials and tribulations of life since nursing school has been nothing less than epic!
The favorite memory that stands out as students together was her card shark skills- be attentive and NO kibitzing!
She was a loving, caring dear friend and will be truly missed ❤️

So sad to hear of Mary's passing. We have shared so much joy with Mary over the years as we sang in Norton Singers, Chaminade Opera Group and Chaminade Pops. Her sense of humor was delightful! She never beat around the bush but just told it like it was. Much love to all the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I worked with Mary at Goddard Medical. Mary was always up for adventure. I remember going out for Chinese food and somehow all of us got up to do Kareoke. She was always comforting and supportive of her patients, which some days was challenging, giving chemo to patients. She would accommodate people to make them comfortable, like the poor guy who would throw up the minute he turned the corner to go in the room. She did what she had to do. Great memories! May all Mom's memories sustain you as time goes on.

Shocked and saddened by the news of Mary's passing. So glad we got to see her at the recent Santoro Picnic. Fond memories include spending afternoons at Auntie Ruth's and Uncle Joe's. Mary graciously shared her coloring books and crayons! Trust that she will be welcomed in Heaven by Aunt Kitty, Uncle Leo and cousin, Donna.

Although I did not know MARY very long, the time spent with MARY at choir practices at St. Cs was fun. I found MARY to be a lovely, caring woman and actually, funny at times. When singing through a piece, and coming upon those high notes that the sopranos usually have to reach for, she would often moan a bit and say something that would make us all chuckle a bit. She had a lovely voice and she will be greatly missed as she could reach those high notes with very little practice!! She had no email or texting so I would always call MARY to remind her of practices etc. She would always thank me for calling her. I will miss her lovely spirit but I have a feeling she is already busy up in Heaven doing what she did here on Earth and no doubt has taken a front chair in God’s big choir, singing with all the other angels.
