Mary lived a full and interesting life as a 60's renovated blue school bus hippie, a gifted washtub bassist, one of the last known Cleveland Browns fan, and a tender of gardens, libations, and people. She was a lover of heat and a complainer of the cold with a kind, unconditional, and generous heart for everyone that ever made her acquaintance.
