I was vey sorry to learn of Mary's passing. As a young nurse in the 1960's, I worked with Mary on OB at St. Mary's. She was so kind and caring, and I learned much from her. There are some people one never forgets. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

To Mary's family,
Mary and Tuffy were our neighbors in 1967-1973 and were wonderful neighbors. Our son, Steve, played with Joey and their other children.
Mary was a sweet neighbor and truly appeared to be a great mother, wife, and nurse.
May God bless your family as you grieve her loss.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mary. I worked on OB with her at SMH and she was with me with the birth of each of my three children. She was not only a wonderful caring nurse she was a special person I will always remember.
