Mary moved to Charles County from Massachusetts in the early 1960's. While raising a family, she was employed as a teacher with the Charles County Board of Education for 37 years. She had a great love for teaching elementary students especially the first grade. Upon retirement in 2002, she followed her second love which included a variety of activities such as watching soap operas and Life Time Movies. She also loved the sun and the beach. She greatly enjoyed placing a comfortable chair in the warm sand, sinking in her toes, and reading a novel by her favorite author, James Patterson.

Retirement also allowed Mary to follow another love, that being time spent with her grandchildren. Mary will be greatly missed by nine loving and devoted grandchildren, Mary Beth(M.B), Brooke, Kaylee, Derek, Brittany, Mikey, Caleb, Matthew, and Abigail.
