Her radiant smile and laughter made the world a brighter place, even when everything seemed dark. Her friends knew her as "MAW," because of her attitude and willingness to stand up for what she believed to be right and the way she protected those she loved. Mary made many people laugh with her timeless pranks and un-daunting wit. We hope that those who knew her will keep her memory and smile forever in their hearts.
