Mary has generously donated her body to St. Louis University’s medical programs.
A Memorial Mass will be held Monday, January 23, 2017, at 5:00 pm, at Ste. Genevieve duBois Church. Because Mary was an avid Cardinal baseball fan, a Cardinal baseball Celebration of Her Life will immediately follow Mass. (Attendees are encouraged to wear their Cardinal red)
Memorial Donations can be made to Cardinal Care, Ste. Genevieve du Bois Church, or SSM Health at Home.
To all of Mary’s family- when I think of Mary Berilla, I always remember her smile above everything else- when you caught her smiling out of the corner of your eye, I would always think..”was there a little mischief I noticed?”
Now she gets a box seat at every Cardinal game-home and away!
Just remember Janet, John, Nick, and Jim,,,you can NEVER replace your mom,
but you will ALWAYS remember her.
May she rest in peace,
Bill Hayes and Sonya Joseph
