Born on December 8, 1932, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Mary was a devout Catholic and had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother. Saying a Hail Mary was her “go to” prayer and she was always willing to say one for anyone in need. She was a proud graduate of Most Blessed Sacrament grade school and West Catholic High School, Class of 1950. Mary greeted everyone she encountered with a smile!

Mary was a long-time parishioner and volunteer at Good Shepherd parish, raising her family in Southwest Philadelphia. She then was a communicant at St. Andrew parish in Drexel Hill for several years. Mary worked as a bank teller before her marriage and then again at Elmwood Federal Savings after she raised her family.  Mary was an avid bowler for many years and volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia.
