Mary spent her career teaching and tutoring elementary school students and taught in the Milwaukee Public Schools, Robin Hood Lane in Boardman, OH, and St. Brendan's Parish School in Youngstown, OH. Mary was a passionate teacher and was well loved by her students. She was instrumental in shaping many of her students lives and remained connected with them well into adulthood. Mary was loved so much by her friends and family and her absence will be deeply felt by all. We rejoice in the amazing life that she lived and the impact that she had on us. We are relieved in the fact that she is now at peace. Burial will be in St. Paul's Cemetery in Genesee Depot, WI.
