Mary was a member of St. Margaret's Circle. She was dedicated to the loving care of family members who preceded her in death, including her parents, brothers, Marino, Anthony and Frank Jr., and sisters, Santina and Prudence.

She was preceded in death by many relatives and dear friends.

Mary is survived by a brother, Joseph; sister, Rose (John) Satariano; and many nieces, nephews, great- nieces and great-nephews.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Lottes and nurse Jodi, Higley Manor staff and Hospice of Mercy for their devoted care. The family also extends their appreciation to the many volunteers and friends who contributed to Mary's physical and spiritual needs.

Instead of flowers, the family requests donations for masses or to Mercy Medical Center and Hospice of Mercy.
