Mary was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker who drew her strength from her devout Catholic faith. Mary excelled at motherhood and her home was a haven for children in the neighborhood.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the Staff and all those who had an interaction with our mother at the Manassas Health & Rehab Memory Care Unit, for the love and care they provided to Miss Mary over the last 3+ years.
