I attended St. Joe school in Cairo, Illinois, also. Found her to be very congenial and always happy. Saw Mary at many school reunions. One memorable one was at her house in O'Fallon, Illinois. Our favorite teacher, Sr. Mary Clarice attended that reunion, also.

I worked with Mary at Lurie's. I held her in very high esteem. She was a very hard worker and a good, kind, and generous person, who loved her family devotedly. I sure she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
