Rest In Peace Mary, thank you for the memories and goodness of your heart.
My first year Camp Claire I was a senior counselor and Mary my junior counselor. We had so much fun and up to her shenanigans, while I was on a night of she and another counselor took my bed and , Lord knows how she managed tied it up about 10 feet in between two trees, while setting up the bureau with flowers atop. I returned from the evening to nothing in the cabin and said, Mary! What are you up to!! She just laughed and said “what?” Lol I hadn’t a clue where the bed and bureau was until she said to go outside and sure enough it was in a tree. We all had a good laugh over it. She was fun and a prankster and a strong stubborn woman with a heart of gold. I am greatly saddened by her passing and my only peace is that she’s with her maker.
My heart is broken Mary. You will always be among the dearest of my friends. You took care of others and gave your heart and talents so freely. You found great joy in service. Your laugh was infectious and sense of humor hysterical. You had it all, a head of gorgeous blonde curls, an amazing mind, great sense of style, impish humor, and a generous soul. I love you Mary, you were there for me when my Gary died. My comfort is knowing that you are in heaven and at peace. Affectionately, Annise and Carmelo.
We reconnected after Robin’s death and you carried me for several years.
You had a warm and inviting home on Woodward Ave. and we had so many great times.. Our Morkies, Sophia and Bella (siblings) were best of friends..
You had the best laugh and always made sure your guests had everything that they loved..,
Our vacations to Fire Island were so much fun..
You were an amazing person and I will miss you so much.
Your path to happiness was always challenged and you always, always persevered. Your parents were so lucky to have as their daughter.
I am honored to call you my friend, until we meet again, Rest In Peace Mary ❤️❤️
Love, Tracey
