Mary was a very outspoken woman, she always said what was on her mind. Sometimes what she said was so direct and blunt it was hilarious, although it might have seemed offensive, you had to laugh. Although she did not have a professional occupation she wore many hats while raising twelve daughters, and 37 grandchildren making her life very fulfilled. Mary was the backbone of her family, she was honest, straightforward, funny, dedicated, loving, had a good heart but yet stern. She truly was the apple of her daughters eye.
