Mary loved her family and enjoyed being a homemaker. She spent many hours in her kitchen cooking for everyone. No one would ever go hungry with her around. She was an avid reader, always up for a game of skib-bo, enjoyed crocheting and loved a good word search. Mary also loved to travel. She often traveled by train to Arizona. She would spend a month or two at a time with her best friend Rae. While in Arizona, she would always make her way to the American Indian Reservations. She always managed to find a piece or two of handmade silver and turquoise jewelry that she just had to come home with. She was the true meaning of Matriarch, she was strong.
