Mary cherished her grandchildren who dubbed her ‘Nunny’, and she and ‘Pappy’ were always on the go with them taking them on adventures when they were young. She was a graduate of Johnstown Catholic High School and had close friends from those days that she still stayed in touch with.

We express our gratitude to those at Laurel Wood who cared for her and treated her with love and admiration.
