Mary was my 8th grade teacher at St. Casimir Grade School. She was so kind and sweet and an excellent teacher. I loved being in her class. What a special person. May the angels welcome her home.

Oh Dear friends, Richard, Jeanine and Deanne and Family... We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mary. We were reflecting on serving at the spaghetti dinners at Sward, participating in the girl's softball league, and other fun stuff that brought us together throughout the years as the girls grew up. May God bless her eternal soul!
