She became a cheerleader for her beloved Bulldogs. She was a well-known friend to many in the community, where her love for reading and talking on the phone with family and friends began. She received her college degree from the Academy of Court Reporting in Columbus Ohio, where she made her home. Mary was an avid Ohio State Buckeye fan, and if the Buckeyes weren’t on you could find her watching tennis or golf. Mary had a great love for her two sons and was very proud of the men that they have become. That love continues to live on, passing to the next generation.</p> <p>Mary’s family would like to acknowledge the nursing staff and doctors who provided care over the last few years. We will forever be grateful for the kindness and compassion that was shown to our mother, daughter, and sister.
