I got to know Mary at Kmart.  we both served on the pos team along with Bonnie Dishong. 
Mary was a fun loving and caring individual.   I have very fond memories of working with Mary.  the world was a better place when Mary was in it.  she spread happiness and joy to all. the store manager fondly called her ‘the old grey mare’.  she was full of life and cared deeply with all of her friends a Kmart.    I have many fond memories and will never forget the times I shared with Mary and her husband.
