I worked with Mary at Essex Tech and I will always remember her huge smile, easy laugh and gracious nature. We talked A LOT about shopping...especially shoe shopping. She was a special lady who will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Mary taught me so much about being a mom and the strength and grace it takes to raise children. She was an amazing soccer mom, manager and friend and I'm grateful for the years I was lucky enough to spend with her at every game and tournament. Rest easy Mary, love and comfort to you all.

Sue & Cheryl

Mary, Cheryl and I all met at Salem State University in 1975. We were applying for the art program and met at the school during our portfolio review and still-life session. We became fast friends and stayed that way through graduation 4 years later, and every year since. We have had wonderful get-togethers and get-aways over the years with us and our husbands. We are profoundly sad that Mary is gone, but she will remain in our hearts, our mind and be with us, always. We will miss you Mary. Our heartfelt condolences to Steve, Beth, and Katie, and all of the family. Much Love 💕 Sue Lyall Haley and Cheryl Broughton
