Mary was a devout Christian, who loved the Lord. She was known by many as "Sister" and thought of by others as a special lady. She enjoyed reading, crocheting, watching game shows, and spending time with family. She was a soft hearted woman that was loving and optimistic, who would do anything for her family, friends, and even strangers. You could always count on her if you needed to talk. She was the glue who held her family together.
