Mary retired from Kraft Foods and was a homemaker. Later in life she helped on the Early Childhood bus, where she was known as "Miss Mary".

She enjoyed visiting family, watching the Cubs and college basketball games. Mary loved playing Bingo and visiting with the ladies at her table at Brookstone Estates, while eating ice cream and honey buns. She had resided at Brookstone for over 9 years. Most of all she loved taking care of Harold and enjoying spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.

Mary loved to watch them play sports, cheer for them and visit them for the holidays in Indiana. She will be greatly missed and was loved more than she ever knew.
