“A true warrior, she passed at home knowing how much she is loved by her daughters. A kind and selfless person, Mary was the center of her family and she leaves her fierce spirit as her legacy, amongst countless happy and wonderful memories. She relished creating beauty around her as a talented floral designer for many years, with many shops throughout the area. A loving mother, daughter, companion, aunt and friend, Mary will be missed by all
whose lives have been touched by her.”
