Mary enjoyed her long career as a nurse. She graduated from the Genesee School of Nursing. Her career spanned from the surgical theatre to her true calling as a geriatric nurse at St. Ann’s, Penfield Place and St. Joseph’s Motherhouse. She worked for many years with her husband Frank giving back to the community as a volunteer at the St. Andrews Food Cupboard and CAPs (Camper Assistance Program) with NY State. And, before her ailing health, participated in weekly Bible Study and Mass on Sunday as part of commitment to Christ at the Church of the Assumption.
Mary always enjoyed sharing a laugh
with neighbors, friends, and family. The
outdoors was Mary’s favorite place to be.
As an avid swimmer, fisherwoman, and camper she truly loved the open
water and bright sunshine. She will be
truly missed for her contagious sense of humor and love.

A devoted mother, wife, and true career woman, Mary inspired us all. Her smiling eyes and quick wit spread joy to everyone who knew her. A life well lived, Mary will be deeply missed. Cherish the memories?
Darryl and I wish to. Convey our deepest sympathies to the entire Heeks family. Our thoughts are with you all.
You’ll forever be in my heart. I love you Mom. Your daughter, Sybil
I remember Mary from Bible Study at Assumption. Mary was a quiet, graceful woman who gave valuable input to the group. I am grateful to have shared in Mary’s wisdom in our study. For Mary’s family – may fond memories comfort you; may prayer sustain you now and in the days to come.
Your life and family have inspired all of us for years to come and are truly grateful. You have touched our souls with many fond memories that will cherish in our hearts. Condolences to the family.
