During her lifetime Mary enjoyed gardening, walking Castle Island, trips home to Mayo and vacationing on the Cape with her family. She shared her deep love for Ireland by ensuring her children and grandchildren were well versed in its history, music and culture. Her happiest days were those spent with her grandchildren whether it be cheering them on, sharing secrets at the stove or having a picnic at Sully's. She leaves behind her lasting legacy of faith, welcoming arms and love of family. Mary will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she has touched.
