She was blessed to have a wonderful 64 year marriage to her beloved high school sweetheart, Jack, with whom she loved dancing and traveling. Mary grew up in the Germantown section of Philadelphia and had four brothers she adored. All of whom served in WWII (Bill, Jack, Walt, and George) in addition to her beloved sister Anita, and baby Maude who passed as an infant.

Her children and grandchildren were a source of so much joy and pride in her life. Mary was a beacon of light wherever she went. She was known for never aging and always lit up a room with her beautiful smile.

In addition to her role as a loving mother, Mary dedicated her time as a volunteer at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia, where her selfless service was deeply appreciated by the staff. Mary’s classmates from Little Flower High School cherished her friendship, and the bonds they shared remained strong throughout the years.
