Mary (aka Mamie) was a much loved wife, mother and mom mom to her children and grandchildren. Mary was born in County Mayo, Ireland and immigrated to the United States in 1950 where she met Frank, the love of her life. They built a wonderful life here, first in Upper Darby, then Broomall and finally retirement in Sea Isle City, NJ. Mary was known for her sweet disposition, happy easy-going ways, always ready with a laugh and a cup of tea. Her quick wit sometimes surprised people and she loved to entertain her grandchildren with her funny Irish songs, poems and sayings. Mary will be greatly missed but we have wonderful memories and she will live forever in our hearts.
