Have known and loved Mary since grade school,then also through Nazareth. Can picture her so proud in her PGH nurse’s cap “frill.” Her move to MA made it a long distance friendship but not forgotten. Loving condolences to her son Joseph and family and her sister Ronnie and family. May the angels lead you into paradise.

Getting ready to make the 7 hour trip to Chelmsford. I have known Aunt Mary for over 30 years. I met her for the first time the day of my wedding when I married her nephew. Over the years we became close. And even though we live hundreds of miles apart we talked on the phone often. I will miss this lovely lady very much.

Will remember her visits to her father in law when he lived at McFarlin Manor. She was a wonderful person.
