Mike, Mary,s son I believe. How I enjoyed your mother, she was always so up beat. will miss her. joan craig
I had the pleasure to work with Mary at GFC and found her to be remarkable. She was not only very caring and ambitious , but one of the most friendly persons I had the pleasure to be associated with. We will miss her smile.
I first met Mary when I started to work at General Filter Company back in 1974. At that time she had been working there since 1960 and I got to work along side of her until 1980 when she retired- I learned a lot from her. Since then I came to know her quite well and have enjoyed her kindness, helpfulness and caring towards most of my family- what she wouldn't do for you. My mother Jonnie and I will miss her the most. Please accept our sympathies.
I worked with Mary at General Filter Co. 55 years ago and found her to be a very thoughtful and caring person. Although I rarely saw her in the years since, I have always remembered how truly nice she was.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
It was a joy to know our wonderful neighbor and friend. We have wonderful memories of Mary. We will miss her kindness to us. We send our deepest sympathy to her family.
