         Mary loved her family very much, especially her grandkids and great-grandkids. She enjoyed playing cards and dice with her daughter, granddaughter, and niece. She would spend her days watching game shows and Little House on the Prairie. In her younger years she was very social and was a joy to be around. When she was able to work she thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her coworkers before she retired. She was of the Catholic faith. She loved football and was a rare Eagles fan in a sea of Cowboys fans (but we never held that against her).
