She will also be lovingly remembered by her numerous nieces and nephews, who will miss their Sunday telephone conversations. During World War II, she traveled to Arizona, taking a job as a telephone operator for military service personnel calling home to their loved ones. On the way back home to Pennsylvania, she met her husband to be, Blaine, a returning veteran. Mary’s pride and joy was her devoted son, Roy, with whom she made her home. Mary was an avid gardener and baker. Mary’s generosity was shown especially with her home-baked cookies she shared with friends, neighbors and her doctors.
