Mary was strong, hardworking and independent. She loved playing and watching sports. Mary loved the Yankees and 49ers, and of course her dog, Kobie, who she spoiled. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she loved Michael Jackson. Her favorite pastimes were camping at Pinecrest, vacationing in Ocean City, MD, and being part of the Splinters softball team.

Her family would like to thank the Hospice Caregivers for their wonderful care of Mary and taking time each visit to talk and answer any questions her family had. A special thank you to nephew and niece-in-law, Austin and Jonnie Fineout, who were always available to help care for Mary when needed.

May you finally rest in peace. You will truly be missed by all that knew you.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
