Mary was a graduate of Ursuline High School and dedicated her life to creating a warm and loving home for her family. She was a longtime resident of Canfield prior to moving to Briarfield. 

Mary’s kind and nurturing spirit extended beyond her own household. She found joy in volunteering at St. Dominic school as a kindergarten aid. Her passion for helping others knew no bounds as she selflessly gave her time and love to the children she worked with. Mary’s dedication to her faith was unwavering, as she was a devoted parishioner of St. Michael Church.

One of the greatest pleasures in Mary’s life was spending time with her grandchildren. She cherished every moment with them and created lasting memories through laughter, love and adventure. Mary also had a love for travel and took great delight in exploring new places with her family.
