“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
I knew Mary through the Creve coeur women’s club. She was always friendly and a pleasure to know. We would often run into each other in the neighborhood and have a little chat. May god bless her soul and prayers to her family.
Mary served on the St. Luke’s Auxiliary Board and worked as a volunteer courier on Wednesdays. That is where I first met her. We worked together on various fund raising sales at the hospital. Always smiling and pleasant and fun to be around. She will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to her family.
Mary, was my Aunt “monie”. She was so spun ky, and smart, and we always turned to her to figure out how every third cousin twice removed..and so on…was related!! She was always so fun to be around! I can’t believe she is really not here for us anymore. Bev, Paul, Karen, Tom, and Steve I am so very sorry for the loss of your amazing mother. She will be greatly missed by so many. I know how much I will miss her. I will hold you all in my heart. And keep you in my prayers through this incredibly difficult time.

May the angels lead her into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome her and take her to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.
