Mary was a dear, sweet person who had such a awful struggle with her many health complications. We met about 13 years ago and I loved our friendship. So eager to play games no matter what her pain level was. Rest in Peace dear friend!!!

Mary our sweet sweet cousin, may you rest in peace with no more suffering, no more tears! Your Aunt Phil is so happy right now seeing you and welcome you with open arms (as many others who were pre deceased before you). We have wonderful memories of our childhood with you at our grandfather’s house on Broadway! I loved staying at her house when I (Sue) was a kid as you were my older cousin who I idolized! Mary you were fun, sweet, a down to earth person who was always smiling and cared for others. There’s no doubt you will be missed by many. Although you will be missed you are in a much better place, “Till we meet again”
We are sending donations to your non- profit organizations you cherished. We love you! Sending ((Huggs)) your cousins Sue, Janet, Nick, Larry and Rosemary.
What a special friend who always displayed joy and cared for others.
During her recent health issues she was always ready for a short visit and praying nightly for her friends and Bible Study gals. She definitely made an impact on my life and that of so many others.
Mary, you made so many friends through Fayetteville Newcomers Club and UA. Your genuine compassion for those of us who know you, as well as those to whom you are an anonymous benefactor, will live on. Rest in God's Peace.
My sympathy to the family of Mary. Mary was a special friend of mine while living in Fayetteville. Meet her through Fayetteville Newcomers - bunco, lunch groups and many other fun times. My heart is heavy, but at the same time, remembering her endurance always with a smile.
In the early 80s, Mary was in our posse of PhD students in Sociology at the U of Albany. She was always the bright light, the sweet smile, when we were whining about exams, professors, our uncertain futures. Some of us were in the office we shared when Mary learned her diagnosis. Scleroderma? Who had heard of that?! And besides, it couldn't be THAT bad in someone as young and pretty as our Mary. And we went on with our lives. And, over the years, Mary's disease went on to become THAT bad. But that didn't stop her, of course, from being Mary, a bright light for all the lives she touched.
