Mary was a talented artist that loved to depict the beautiful world around her, especially nature. Using watercolor, acrylic, sculpture and photography, she enjoyed making art with her children and encouraged them to draw and experience the world around them. Mary was an excellent cook and loved to garden, listen to music, playing cribbage with her children, and walking on her favorite beach, Bayshore Beach; looking for sea glass. Mary will be remembered for her unique sense of humor,  tenacity and her love of laughter. She will be dearly missed.
