Mary was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt who always put her family first. Her greatest joy was having her family together and being able to share that joy with the love of her life, her husband Joe. Together they shared a forever kind of love- a love that will live on forever. Holidays were her favorite times- cooking, baking and sharing with family and friends. She loved her home and garden. Mary loved going to the casino and watching New York Yankees baseball with her family. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, she was always so supportive and so proud of them. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of her family and wonderful friends. She has touched so many lives with love, kindness, caring and sharing. We will always remember her beautiful smile. We love you always.
