As a young child she had several operations during the summer months. She was part of a groundbreaking procedure with the March of Dimes at Children’s Hospital in Boston which was a success. She had a full leg cast for several weeks and was eventually able to be freed from her brace and crutches. Mary enjoyed several childhood summers at the March of Dimes Camp. She was even their posterchild and sat on Frank Sinatra’s lap! She was a meticulous student and graduated from Roslindale High School in 1961. Mary’s first job was at Sandy’s Discount Department Store in West Roxbury with her sister Emily.

She later went to work for the West Roxbury Crushed Stone Company as a bookkeeper. She met her husband Jack while working at Sandy’s and later married him in August of 1964. They had a wonderful time traveling extensively prior to starting their family. They made their home in Medfield, MA and adopted their son Gerry in December of 1969 and later had Kevin and John. She was a wonderful homemaker who loved to cook, craft, and entertain. She discovered she had a passion for painting, took a few lessons and developed a skill for illustrating boats, flowers, and landscape portraits. The family has many memories of vacationing in Sunapee, NH where her boys enjoyed snowmobiling.
