Throughout Mary’s years she’s showed her children how to waiver any storm, no matter what she went through she had a strength that overcame all obstacles. Mary worked majority of her life as a chef. She spent several years working at “The Deli” where she enjoyed serving her community, while talking crazy to any and everybody, but that never stop the customers from coming, everybody loved Mary and her cooking.
