No words can express for I feel….I will miss our long talks on the phone.
you were so kind and loving to so many people .love you more.
My Aunt Mary was a deeply family oriented person. Her middle name, Louisa came from her mother’s sister, Emma Louisa Victoria Dadd; (Aunt Lou)
Mary always spoke so lovingly of her son and daughter, and all of her grand children. She was always hospitable and kind to all visitors.
She spoke very highly of her church, neighbors, and people who showed her kindness. I am sad She is gone but happy to know she is where she is loved and at peace.
Mary, you certainly will be missed, I loved to hear about your stories and how you always helped other people, you lived a beautiful life, and now you are at peace. Love you
Mary was one of my mothers closest & dearest friends. I am in my mid 60’s & I do not remember a time she was not in my life. Mary, Pucky, Johnny & Cathy came to Canada often. It was always an exciting week. Mary ran circles around me when I was in my 40’s & she in her 70’s.
I will miss her dearly, but I know she was prepared to go to the arms of our Lord
You lived life to the fullest, always helping out where needed and you will be missed.
We just learned of Mary’s passing – she was a vibrant and vivacious woman who loved to regale us with stories of her activities. She always had “a date with a plate” or an activity with the Elks to get to. We will miss her, but know we will see her again in Heaven, where she will be singing her treasured hymns of old!
Today in church your chair was empty it wasn’t the same not seeing your smiling face hear a story or two about your family and a laugh about men you will be very much missed but until we meet again I know you will be a blessed angel watching over many keep dancing ❤ mary
Was saddened to hear of the passing of our dear family friend Mary… Mary was truly a wonderful and inspirational woman. A lifelong friend of our mother Audrey,Mary left us with many happy memories that will touch us forever. She will be surely missed by all.
Mary was married to my cousin Pucky. I attended her wedding at the age of 5. She was always kind to me and my family. My family did not have a lot of money. When I was married, Pucky rented the Tea Parlor at the South Boston Yacht Club for my reception.Mary sent me a enlargement of a wedding photo Pucky took.
Later, we used to visit from time to time when I was in Boston. I admired her wedding photos (they really are wonderful black and white photos) and she sent me 8/10 copies of three pictures.
Mary and Pucky knew the importance of family.
I am so sorry about the delay, I only found out about her passing today (August, 2022).
