Mary was a graduate of Norwood Senior High School and went on to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Stonehill College. She worked for over 37 years as a clerk at Dedham District Court. Mary loved her cats and was always eager to provide a home for any feral cats that came her way.

Her love of watersports began with a trip to California to visit her brother, Bill, when he took her snorkeling in the Channel Islands. Other travels included exploring the Grand Canyon, cruises in Florida with her uncle Dick and her cousin Lisa and relaxing on Old Silver Beach in Falmouth. Always a creative soul, Mary loved to garden and was an avid reader. She was an excellent cook, and she loved to entertain family and friends.
