To Sharon, Debbie, and Family,
My mother, also named Mary, went all through school with your mother and they were friends there. I was blessed to work with Mary at the police station during the summer while in high school. It was the best job ever! In later years, we would frequently see Mary and Sam when we dined at Red Lobster. She was truly a lovely lady within and without!
Please accept my sincere condolences,
Carole Martinez
To Sharon, Debbie & Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your mom with us. Mary was a beautiful soul with a smile that would light up the room. She was always positive, with an awesome spirit and a great sense of humor. I looked forward seeing her happy face every morning. And always so well put together! She will be truly missed by the staff and residents here at the Colonnade at Carrollwood!
Rest peacefully Mary and please tell Sam we said, "Hello!"
Sharon, Debbie, and family, I just watched the video you put together. I felt like I knew so many family members even though we've never met! Your mom lived a life surrounded by so many people who she loved and obviously loved her so much. I just can't get over how fancy she was! What a beauty! What a wonderful life full of joy she lived. I regret never meeting her. Thinking of you all. I'll be at the service.
Sara ( Sharon's friend from Whidbey)
My Aunt Mary, she had it all: beauty, intelligence, personality plus, and an amazing quality of giving her love and praise to everyone she came in contact with!
My Aunt Mary was a beautiful, irreplaceable soul who will be so missed by us all.
Debbie and family your mother was a fair and beautiful secretary and employee for the City of Tampa, Florida Police Department working in the Personal and Training Department.
I remember when I first met her in 1967. I knew then that she was a fair and wonderful lady. Her smile was second to none and always made me feel welcome and a part of the department. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Continue to stay strong Debbie your mother's apple did not fall to far from the tree.
Retired Sergeant Rufus M. Lewis

Debbie & family:
I was so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. From Michele’s & my mother Grace’s tales, I know that she lead a full & complete life. Stories of her kindness & witty humor brought smiles to all that listened. I am positive that Mary was blessed to have you as a daughter, and am happy that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree and that you will always be in Michele’s life. May Mary Rest In Peace.
