In 1936, she converted to Catholicism and joined St. Peter & Paul Cathedral, where Mary and Charlie -- or "Bud" as she fondly called our dad - married on May 28, 1938. Charlie died in November 1999. He was 85. They were married for 61 years.They moved from Broad Ripple to Carmel in 1975, where she and Charlie became active members in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish. Mom was known for making Rosary beads and scapulars. They participated in Christ Renews His Parish and became known to just about everyone in the OLMC community. Mom volunteered at St. Augustine's Little Sisters of the Poor for many years and became a resident in 2012.
