Mary worked for Citi Mortgage for 25 years, but her most important job was caring for her three daughters. She enjoyed doing crafts, sewing, cooking, baking, going to garage sales, and watching the St. Louis Cardinals. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. You could always find Mary at her grandchildren’s sporting events. Mary was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
