Mary was born in Illinois but lived most of her life in Troy, Michigan. She survived several rare illnesses in her life and an abusive husband. She gave life to 8 children. Unfortunatly, she lived to see her first born die of cancer. She was a hard worker all of her life. She worked at Troy Plastics for several years.
In the late 80's or early 90's she found out she had a rare kind of cancer called Carcinoid. In 1993, she moved down here to live with my mother, cousin and myself. She passed away at home.
My grandmother was a great woman whom I only got to know after she was blinded and could not see what I looked like. She used to like touching my face to get a mental image of my features. We all miss and love her dearly. May she rest in peace.
