One of eight, Mary grew up in Dorchester. She worked for 30 years at Sears and Roebuck's in Kenmore Square. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. She always dressed nicely and greeted everyone with a huge smile. She loved talking to people and could have a good conversation with a complete stranger. When she retired she remained active. She never let things get in the way of doing what she wanted. She did not drive but would take the train or bus to Rockport, and elsewhere. She played her number daily and was very lucky at winning. She enjoyed her life and lived her life to the fullest. She traveled all over the world to Spain and Morocco where she rode a camel, Poland, Hawaii, Mexico, Brazil, and many other places. She loved meeting 30people and learning about culture and tradition. She loved animals too. She was very proud of her Polish background and loved to attend Polish events and loved Polish polka music. When she was younger she was also part of the Polish Krakowanki She was deeply religious and always dropped into a church on her outings to say a prayer and light a candle for someone. When she was a kid, Mary, attended daily Mass with her brother and sister. She was very active at the Senior Center at Arch Street. She traveled far to visit friends who were in a hospital. And if you told her someone was sick..”I’ll say a prayer for him/her or I will light a candle”. She attended services at her beloved church Our Lady of Czestochowa in Southie she went to the English Mass and then the Polish Mass on Sundays. She loved to see all the kids dressed up. She attended every event or dinner at this church.
