    Aunt Mary was fortunate to have lived an abundant and full life.
    Within her was the power to laugh, encourage and cultivate an atmosphere of happiness.
    She will be greatly missed!

    My fondest memory of Mary was watching her coming smiling and waving as she entered the whirlpool at the Y. I attended her wonderful 90th birthday party at Cobble Stone Club. Mary often brought a cartoon or joke to share at coffee there. She took such pride bringing in snacks to share in the Y coffee area. She always spoke of her family with such pride and love. I’ve wondered what happened to her because the last time I saw her she was going to Maryland to stay with Charles. I wish I had known she was back in Victor. She will be missed by many of us at the YMCA.

    Rosemary, my condolences to you and your entire family. Your Mom was a great lady, one of a kind and the life of the party. I’m sure she has already pulled my Mom & Dad onto Heaven’s dance floor with her and your father.
