Mary remained actively engaged in family life well into her late eighties. She worked alongside her son Michael for many years and supported her son Mark in his dental practice prior to his passing, roles that exemplified her devotion to her family. Mary’s life was defined by her unwavering faith, quiet strength, and the love she had for her family. Her spirit lives on in the laughter, traditions, memories she inspired and of course her favorite caramel macchiatos.
