Mary, a devout Catholic of strong faith, was a longtime parishioner St. Jude Catholic Church, and more recently a parishioner of St. Joseph of Cottleville. She was a wonderful caretaker of family and friends and often lent a helping hand to her many neighbors. Mary was also a wonderful cook, and loved spending time in her garden tending to her vegetables. Babies held a special place in Mary’s heart, and she loved spending quiet hours rocking and comforting them. Most of all, her family was the most important thing in her life, and she cherished the time she spent with her children and grandchildren. Mary was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
