She was a member of the Salvation Army where she worked nonstop on the Toys for Tots Christmas Gifts. She would make sure that every
one
of those kids had something to open on Christmas, especially the teens. She also enjoyed volunteering at Hospice and the Rescue Mission. She retired from Wesley School in June of 1999 after 26 years of service. Mary was one of a kind. If you knew her, you loved her, and she shared her love unconditionally. According to her wishes cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life Gathering will be held later where memories will be shared. So please start writing.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be directed to the Muskegon Salvation Army.
