Mary resided in many states throughout her life and held several positions. She worked many years as a legal secretary and as a billing clerk until her retirement.
Mary had many interest over her lifetime, but her most devoted passions were that of fashion and animals, especially cats. She loved fashion including the newest clothing trends and current hair styles. She paid attention to every detail of how she presented herself, whether going to work, an appointment, or just going out.
Mary’s love for her cats was evidenced by her selfless dedication and devotion in caring for them. Over the years, she had dozens and dozens of cats, all of which she could remember their names and described each one in detail. Mary never met a cat that she wasn’t willing to adopt, take in and love.
Mary will be deeply missed by her family and friends
