Mary was a devout worker at Taco Bell for 16 years and worked with her daughter Sarah at Dometic Corporation for 5 years. She loved collecting bracelets, M&M souvenirs, the Grinch, and her favorite rock band was ACDC. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family while going shopping and always testing the waters by trying new restaurants. She would travel with her daughter Sarah, granddaughter Nautica, and her mother Barbara. She would also go on many adventures with her niece Stacey, and her boyfriend, Mustang Mike. Mary was also an avid people watcher. Her and her mother would sit out in the garage and give a friendly wave to drivers passing by to spread joy and love to all. Mary will be deeply missed by all those that loved her.
