She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Family was always the center of her world and she loved spending as much time with each and every one of them as possible. Mary’s family could always depend on her phone calls just to check in no matter how hard her day might have been she was always there for everyone. She also enjoyed her daily calls from her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, who she treated like her very own siblings. Mary and Win had an open-door policy and everyone, including extended family and friends, were always welcome and treated with love. Her love was boundless and unconditional. She and her husband enjoyed dancing, attending police conventions, and vacationing with their family to Ocean City, MD. Every year she and her husband, Win hosted a Christmas Eve party that was open to all friends and family. Although no invitations were ever sent, everyone knew that their door was open, and they were welcome to stop by. Mary had a sweet tooth and always kept sweet treats in the house which she offered to everyone that visited. Mary truly enjoyed her Tuesday outings which always involved a visit to the hairdresser and a stop for donuts. She was devoted to her Catholic faith and volunteered countless hours as a Eucharistic Minister, bringing communion to the elderly and infirmed who were housebound.
