Mary was an independent woman, unapologetic for her fiery spirit and lived her life on her own terms, even when it wasn’t the norm for women to do so. She was a fantastic cook, and all of her family and friends were blessed by the meals she made, and the loved she put into them. Mary will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
