Mary kept in constant touch with her classmates from the Lorraine School of Nursing in Pembroke. She loved being a nurse and working in public health. Mary’s hands were never idle as she was always knitting, sewing, cross stitching, paper crafting and quilting with the many friends that she made along the way. Mary loved to travel and always had stories to tell of the family’s adventures.
