My deepest synpathy to the Mulroe family.

Thoughts and prayers are with Mary's extended family. Her passing brings back many memories of youth activities of the Mulroe boys at St. Angela's and in the North Austin neighborhood. I know that Mary was very proud of her boys and their families. Mary's friendliness was a gift that she shared with many.

Mary Mulroe was the rock of the Mulroe family. She may have only been 5 feet tall, but she was a giant to many. She always had a kind word for everyone, time for a cup of tea, extra prayers to spare, she was a wonderful lady who will me missed always.
