Mary retired from working at Simplicity Pattern Company in Niles after 20+ years. She loved to bowl, and played golf well up into her 90’s at Plym Park Golf Course. She was driving her car back in Niles up to the age of 94. Mary danced in the variety show put on by the Imperial Bonita Estates park. She did that for 20+ years up until she turned 90. She was loved by all who came into contact with her at NCH hospital and all of the staff at Lakeside Nursing Home in Naples, FL. They all made mention as to how sweet a lady she was. And that she was.
