Mary's life was difficult. Her mother died when she was a toddler, so she was raised by her grandparents for a while. There is much missing from her life story, yet what is known is that it was cut short. She fought cancer until, as a young mother, she too was stolen from her daughter. Mary was only thirty when she left Bacil a widower.
