Mary was a very generous and giving person, always thinking of others first, and herself last. Her family meant everything to her. She was famous for making her special chocolate chip cookies and perogies for all to enjoy. Her greatest passions were gardening, bingo, and going out for pancake breakfasts. Not a summer went by without her family enjoying her many fresh vegetables from her garden, especially her tomatoes and cucumbers. Mary was a woman of great strength and independence.
