The family extends their sincere gratitude to the staff of Riverview Manor in Owego for the compassionate, dedicated, and attentive care provided to Mary throughout her residency.

A Celebration of Mary's Life will be held at a later date and time to be announced by the family.

Though she is no longer with us in body, Mary's kindness, strength, and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
