Knowing Mary since 1960 has been a great honour for me and my late husband.
She was a very hard worker and loved her family with a passion.
My time with her was all the laughs we had when I helped her in the kitchen
Of the Rennie Hotel when we were there for the summer.
She will be deeply missed by me but know she is at peace now and
“The best is yet to Come”
