Mary worked many years as a volunteer coordinator at Children’s Hospital in Denver.

Mary loved Maine and lived there for many years, even after changing careers and opening a dog kennel business. She was an avid New England Patriots fan and carried her devotion back to Colorado. Mary loved dogs and volunteered for pet rescue projects and a donation center that supported rescued pets awaiting new homes. While in Maine, Mary fostered a special needs girl for a while. Mary also loved Ireland and enjoyed its music at Irish pubs in the states.

I’m feel bad I didn’t even know she was sick. She never mentioned it when I talked to her last, she only mentioned she was trying to move back to Maine and she was so excited about that.
My sincere condolences to her family.
