Mary was proud of her Italian heritage and enjoyed going out to dinner or sharing her favorites foods including one of her all-time favorites - Olga’s Kitchen. Mary’s faith was also very important to her, and she enjoyed the time she spent volunteering at church, especially when she was a faithful parishioner of St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church.

Always exuding positivity, Mary brought a smile with her everywhere she went. Everyone who met her, loved her!
