Mary, a graduate of St. Gabriel High School in New Rochelle, received her B.

Mary will be remembered as a loyal wife and devoted mother. When her children were younger, Mary enjoyed being a spectator at all of their athletic events. She had an open-house policy for all of her children’s friends, and hosted numerous holiday meals and birthday celebrations. For a woman of Irish descent, she made a delicious lasagna. Throughout all of her health issues, she remained kind, caring and generous, always making time to lend a supportive ear.
