Mary was a graduate of Susquehanna Valley High School, class of 1989. She was a homemaker, wife, mother, sister and friend to many. Mary was a beautiful and loving woman. She was always able to make friends with anyone and everyone, from familiar faces to strangers alike. Her laughter was contagious and vibrant, she had the ability to make anyone laugh even on their worst days. She always made everyone around her smile- she had an amazing sense of humor. She had love for all people and was an empathetic person who cared for others more than anything. She remembered the details about people, and always made it a point to celebrate her loved ones on a daily basis. 

Mary had a passion for life, her personality shining bright through anything. There was nothing she loved more than being a Mother. She became a second Mother to many of her children’s friends as well and considered them her bonus children. She always treated them as if they were her own. Her passions included the simple things in life, like coffee and her two dogs, Rocco and Loki. She loved summer days, riding in the car with the windows down and sun on her face. She loved God and had a sense of faith that never wavered. Her grace and compassion changed the lives of many, and she will be remembered as a blessing to all she was surrounded by. She will be greatly missed by family, friends, and loved ones.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00am on Friday, November 13, 2026 at the Parish of Saints John and Andrew, 1263 Vestal Ave, Binghamton, NY 13903.
