Mom's life revolved around her family, sharing her love and guidance. She was especially proud of her grandchildren - they could do no wrong in her eyes! Her great-grandchildren were held dear to her heart with her unselfish love and gentleness. The family will forever treasure the fond memories of special times spent together. Mary welcomed everyone into her home with open arms. She was always there to listen, lend a helping hand or just chat. She enjoyed, baking, gardening, watching CNN (Larry King) and going to the Luther Home day program.
