The family would like to thank the spouses who opened their homes to our mother in her last years, especially Linda J. Bohn and Mike Ewert, who have generous hearts of welcome, love and care.
Mary had a heart that loved others greatly; a heart that bore the sorrow of the loss of parents, spouse, children, and a brother; that carried the joy of motherhood. Her heart was devoted to the Virgin Mary and above all loved her God. Her heart served her faithfully for almost 83 years; and after beating approximately 3 1/2 billion times, took her home to Heaven. Her love and prayerful guidance will be forever missed and always remembered.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to either St. Patricks Church or the Texas Commission for the Blind.

She voted in every election from 1936 until the recent 2004 vote.
She loved her family above all else. She cared dearly for her daughter, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Despite hardships, she always kept a positive outlook. She was a devout Christian and a true friend. During her life, she was a member of various groups, including the American Legion Auxiliary, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Galveston Garden Club.
