Preceded in death by her parents, a brother in infancy and a son in infancy. Mary worked for many years as a bartender in Rockdale and later retired from the floral department at Dominick’s Finer Foods. Mary LOVED to shop the local thrift stores and playing Bingo. Mention the word shopping and Mary was ready to go! Over the past few years when traveling became too hard, she would love to have her children and grandchildren over for dinner. She loved her family and did the best she could for them. Her grandchildren were very important to her and was her reason for continuing her fight against Kidney disease. The family would like to thank Dr. Larbi for her countless hours of care. Funeral services for Mary will be private. Per Mary’s wishes cremation rites will be accorded following services.
