Mary also had 5 beautiful grandchildren, Caitlin Holguin, Jake Ludemann, Kyle, Liam and Ryan Cassidy.
Mary was born on December 20, 1928 in New York City to Frank & Loretta (Roche) Widmeyer. She spent most of her childhood in Maspeth, Queens until she moved to Bellerose with her husband, Herbert J. (04/25/1971) and her 3 children.
Mary had a passion for knitting and could knit a baby blanket like nobody's business. Only God knows how many she did for family, friends and some strangers too. She was very active in her children's sporting lives as their chauffeur and would often be found in the bleachers of a swimming pools with her knitting needles click-clacking.
Mary very much enjoyed walking and walked 5 miles a day with the Alley Park Striders Club. She also enjoyed bowling at Bellerose Lanes. She was a voracious reader having to make her mark in books in case she forgot that she read that already.
Mary was a "world traveler" as well and went on numerous trips with her lifelong friends, Teresa, Eileen and Kay.
