Mary worked for the Northland Hockey Stick company in Richford for 22 years where she glued the blades to the stick handles. Her family recalls wonderful memories of working together at the company where her son Lonnie sanded the blades for his mom to glue and her daughter Irene finished the product by shaping them. She adored playing bingo and would often attend 5 nights a week. She was truly her own person that loved her independence and passionately lived her life enjoying it to its fullest. She lived for the past 25 years at the Holy Angles apartments in St. Albans where she had many friends that she loved and that absolutely loved her. They really looked after each other. She always walked everywhere; to the store, to her hairdressers. A healthy active woman that was happy to say that she never got sick. Mary cherished the time she spent with all her family. The family would like to thank Marys granddaughters, April Furlow & Heather Goodhue, for all their help and for taking Mary to bingo, it meant a lot to her.
