She is missed for the little things that matter, such as “daily coffee and bagel talks,” the people at Butler’s said, her “smart remarks,” a friend said. Mostly, kindness was the word used to describe what most saw as a true, unassuming Rumson townie.

“She was an active choir member at St. George’s by the River Episcopal Church in Rumson. Mary cherished the times spent knitting and relaxing at Sea Bright beach. She will be deeply
missed by all who knew and loved her.”
