Mary started her journey of employment at Princeton Hospital after graduating from Princeton High School in the Class of 1960. After working a few years, she graduated from Mercer County Technical School Health Career Center with her LPN Degree. She then graduated from Trenton State College and earned a certification as a Registered Nurse. Mary was employed as a RN at Mercer Hospital (now Capital Health Medical Center) for over 30 years and part time at the Helene Fuld Medical Center.
Mary was an active member and faithfully worshiped at the St. John Baptist Church in Ewing, New Jersey.. Mary served as President of the St John's Baptist Church Gospel Chorus and a Nurse. After a stoke and the loss of her son, she moved to Texas to be with her daughter.
Mary also was an avid fan of NASCAR racing and had a favorite driver whose progress she closely followed throughout the racing season.
Mary liked to watch professional baseball and her favorite team was the LA Dodgers. She would get so excited watching a baseball game,she would get up from her chair and wanted to play baseball NOW.
Mary loved to go shopping and would shop for hours even if she didn’t buy anything. Her eyes would brighten as she walked the aisles and looked through racks of beautiful fashionable clothing. Her favorite store was MACYs. She had great taste in fashion and in home decorating.
Mary loved her children with her whole heart. She worked tirelessly to ensure that they were safe and that all their needs were met. She was a very kind and a giving person. I would like to always remember the quick grin on her face and let everyone know that she was a wonderful sister, a dedicated mother, and a true friend.
Mary loved being around and careing for children, especially newborns. In memory of Mary, please consider making a donation to the foundation listed below, which will further the same loving care Mary so lovingly provided.
