So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. My fondest memory of Mary was sitting next to her at a WUMC “Crowded Table” night. We talked a lot and about a lot. Being with her that night was truly an unexpected blessing. I’ll alway remember her for her honesty, caring and quick wit. She made me laugh a lot. May God bless her and keep her in the palm of His loving hand and surround her with tenderness. May God bless Mary’s family and all those missing her already. Peace and Warm Thoughts to all - Bill Babin

I just want to send my deepest condolences to Mary’s family and friends. I knew Mary since I was 5 years old. We use to live on the same street in Warwick, Orchard Street and went to school together. . My Dad owned Larry’s FoodStore. Mary and Norma and I would play together as children. I too belonged to the Methodist Church. Mary’s Birthday was a day after mine. She was a year older. Was really sad to hear of her passing. We have kept in contact on Facebook. I just lost my Husband 6 months ago and know how she felt losing Phil. May God be with her children and grandchildren. 🙏❤️

So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I was a classmate in Warwick High School and also saw Mary at the Pine Island Senior meetings. I will miss our conversations.
