Her unwavering love and kindness touched everyone and her absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew her.

Mary's life was a testament to perseverance and independence. Despite never having driven a day in her life, she walked everywhere, embodying strength and resilience. She was a constant source of support and care, always there for others.  Mary lived a life marked by love, generosity, and unwavering commitment to her family. Her kindness was a beacon of light.
