Mary was a very creative person who could visualize an item and then with patience and skill make it become a reality with her gift of sewing, quilting, and detailed handiwork. She loved celebrating Christmas by filling her home with lights, decorations, and the love of her children and grandchildren. For years Mary enjoyed playing her digital organ and attending organ classes with her friends. Mary always enjoyed road trips with Pat and finding a great deal while antique shopping. She enjoyed following politics and with her husband Pat started a Tea Party group in Hesperia.
