Each visit from them brought excitement and warmth, reminding her of the joy of new beginnings and the continuation of family traditions.

Aside from her dedication to family, Mary found solace in nature’s beauty and all things purple. She had a special fondness for flowers and clear blue skies and took the time to appreciate their elegance and simplicity, often reflecting on the peace they brought to her life. She also loved music and dancing.
