Mary Dolores Dietrich

Mary Dietrich, 84, of Sunbury, PA, passed away June 12, 2020, at Manor Care Nursing Home. Born September 19, 1935, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, she was a daughter of the late Bernardino Amoros and Viva Perez.

She graduated High School in New York and had a career as a nurse and vet tech. She spent her later years babysitting for families. Mary regularly attended church, enjoyed yoga and meditation, and playing her organ, singing, and dancing. She traveled a lot and never left her house without looking her best. Her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family. She wanted her family to want the same and to stick together. Mary lived a life full of family, friends, love, and laughter and she taught us all to do the same.
