She loved to garden, laugh and enjoy her family.

You will always be in my heart Mary. It was such an honor knowing you and being your friend. You touched so many hearts – and for that we are grateful. Rest well sweet Mary…
I got to know Mary in her time at the Legacy and at PUMC – I can still hear her laugh! She had such a huge, passionate heart and was never afraid to call out something that was unfair. I know she will be dearly missed, and I’m grateful to have known her.
Mary and Armand were good friend of our family Nary and Warner Davis in west Philadelphia. I enjoyed Mary’s Christmas cards throughout the years. Armand even attended my wedding in 1976. I missed receiving her card this year and was sadden to hear of her death. Many wonderful memories of them both. Sincerely, Valerie Broussard
I am so sorry to see that Mary has passed. She was a wonderful person and I had hoped to see her again. She was so good to me many years ago. We worked together at Francis Parker Nursing home where she got me the job. Sending love to the family. Anyone who knew Mary was blessed.
