Mary is also survived by her nephews Buddy, Dan and Michael. Mary could definitely light up a room with her fun sense of humor. She loved her family and her cat named Chelsea. She loved to flirt and make you smile. She did not hold anything back, she would speak her mind. Even when Mary was feeling down she would never show it.
