We just heard of Mary’s passing, having last visited her at Wesley Village over the summer. Our sincere condolences to her family. Mary was a wonderful woman and nurse, who will be greatly missed. We had the pleasure of knowing through our mother, Catherine, her dear friend since nursing school. May she rest in eternal peace.
