She loved being a wife, mom, grandma, and great grandma. One of Mary’s great passions was knitting.  In fact, she loved it so much that she opened up Mary’s Knitting Niche in Hammond where she was able to showcase her skills as well as teach many others to knit. She had a keen eye for the arts. Mary painted often creating treasured keepsakes for her family and friends. In-fact the old Hammond Congregational Church altar’s backdrop, was painted by her! . Mary loved tending to her flower beds, completing jigsaw puzzles, dancing, and listening to her favorite music. Entertaining family and friends gave her joy and memories. Her meatloaf, popcorn balls, and apple crisp are a few of the mouthwatering items her family craved. She was a devoted mom who took pride in her kid’s activities and events. Mary would serve as a cub scout leader and 4H mom. She was also chosen to serve as a judge for the County Fair for individual projects.
