Mary was always so kind and helpful. I don’t think I can go into Wawa for a while. It just won’t be the same without her.
She took her time with every customer and always had a smile. I sure will miss her.
No words could ever express the loss of a loved one. Just know that the family is in my thoughts and Prayers. Such a sweet and remarkable lady. Always so friendly and cheerful. I will miss our conversations.
Mary lived her life as a kind, inclusive, and open-hearted person. She found so much joy in everyday experiences and interactions with others. Thank you, Mary for being our loving sister and friend. Kathy and Michael Roche
I’m so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. As a child, I always enjoyed visiting Uncle Wayne and Aunt Pat with my family, and my brother, sister, and I were always extra excited if Mary was going to be there. Her smile lit up the house. She will be missed.
