I remember with appreciation the time I worked with Mary at Hynes and Golf Schools. She was a great support in parent conferences and a whiz at the bridge table during our lunch hours. She was a good friend and we shared many happy memories and a lot of laughter. My sympathy to her family ..she was very proud of all of you.

Paul, I was doing some research for Tim on Dominican University and spoke to a women named Kathy in the Institution Advancement Dept. She looked your mom up on the computer and said that this was the year of her 50th Class Reunion and that she would notify the Alumni of her passing. She was very kind and helpful and it made me glad that donations would be made in your mom's name. Take care. Maggie

To Mary's family,

Mary's expertise and kindness was so helpful to me during our tenure with School District 67. And I loved to play bridge with her! She'll be sorely missed.

May your memories soothe your souls.

With sympathy,
