Mary was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many people. She was a highly skilled seamstress specializing in smocking and heirloom sewing. She made baby gowns, christening dresses, baby bonnets, Christmas ornaments as well as any alteration or sewing repair imaginable. She traveled widely to learn and teach her skill from youth stitch camps to seminars in Australia. Mary was a longtime member and several times President of the Mitten State Smockers as well as a member of the National Smocking Arts Guild of America.
She was honored by the City of Flint, Michigan in the early 1970’s with a key to the city for her work in the Michigan Diabetes Association and Childhood Diabetes. Mary was employed at Hurley Medical Center as an Administrative Assistant. Everyone who was associated with Mary will miss her and cherish her memory, her wit, her skills and presence among us.
