Mary held a managerial position for 25 years at Lane Bryant Department Store in Brooklyn, held a volunteer position for 30 years at the Gold Age Club located at St. Columba Church, and happily entertained family and friends on holidays and celebrations.

“Nana” is loved so much by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  She will be deeply missed by her family and friends at the St. Columba Golden Age Club. She enjoyed visiting the casinos with her friends and playing the slots. We will also miss her pizzelles, her manicotti, her love of coffee, and her wonderful conversation.

Her family wants to especially thank the wonderful and professional staff at the Chateau of Brooklyn Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center where Mary has lived since 2017.
