Mary enjoyed the company of countless family and friends who arrived weekly to visit and spend time with her. A devoted Framingham Public School employee for 20+ years, Mary’s final years were filled with love and care by her devoted family. Her daughter, Karen, along with grandchildren Stephanie, Anthony, and Jacqueline, provided constant support, ensuring Mary was content, comfortable, and surrounded by love at all times. Their unwavering devotion and care are a testament to the strong bond they all shared.
As an active member of Saint Stephen’s Parish, she was a fixture at morning mass. Mary was known for her kindness, warmth, and exceptional cooking. Mary often made homemade cookies, meatballs, or the family favorite, raviolis, which became a staple at family gatherings. These recipes will be cherished for generations.
