I loved Mary! I met Mary in 2003, shortly after her 80th birthday. She was so vibrant, active and independent. She still cleaned her own home and cooked her own meals, although she was certainly willing to go out to lunch! She had a gardener, but still weeded and trimmed her flowers whenever she felt well enough. The story of her life was fascinating; she was truly a Pajaro Valley pioneer. She loved to dance and laugh and tell stories from her youth about pushing the boundaries of how young ladies were "supposed" to behave. She treated employees, clients and friends alike, with warmth and respect. Family obligations and my husband's illness have kept me from visiting her the last couple of years, and she was no longer well enough to go out much, but she knew I loved her dearly. My deepest condolences go to Clemmie and the Lico and Greco families on the loss of such a wonderful soul. I will miss her forever.
(So sorry we could not attend her memorial this morning, but my husband had an important cardiologist appt. at the same time.)
