Mary worked hard all of her life to provide for her family. In the early years she was station agent at the Groton Railroad Station, she sold cards, Avon, and hosted Better Homes Clubs. She walked from one end of Groton to the other for she had no other transportation. When her children were older, she worked out of town, at the Capacitor Plant in Barre, VT, the shoe shop in Woodsville, NH and the shoe shop in Lisbon, NH. She attended the Groton United Methodist Church. Mary was hard working, generous, compassionate, loving and honest, and she encouraged this in her children and grandchildren. They were all very dear to her. Many in Groton who knew Mary considered her a highly regarded fixture, for she had lived at the Station Flat for 74 years.
