Mary attended cosmetology school and went on to become an educator in the field. She was a strong, loving, opinionated and determined woman with a drive to work. Besides her family, she was most proud of helping her husband create and run four businesses over the years. She found great joy in bowling which including candlepin tournaments throughout New England. Mary could always be found enjoying the calmness of the beach with a book in hand at her summer home on Little Sebago Lake.
