Mary had a long career as an executive assistant at State Street Bank and enjoyed her retirement tremendously. She met her beloved husband, Paul, while playing golf, a sport they both excelled at. They married in 1965 and enjoyed a life filled with family, travel, golf and tennis. Mary loved walking throughout her life and set a pace few others could match. In addition to golf, bowling and tennis, she volunteered at Good Samaritan Hospital for many years and enjoyed cribbage and other games. Always outgoing, Mary maintained friends through her lifetime, making new friends in Florida and locally at every opportunity. She took great pleasure in family celebrations and looked forward to family vacations in Sarasota and Nantucket.
