Mary had a sweet tooth and loved to bake and was known by her perfect cookies, amazing breads, cake-pops, peanut-butter fudge, and delicious caramels. When she wasn’t spoiling everyone with her confections, she loved to craft, paint, and do household finishing work. She was affectionately known as Nini and Grandma Mary by her grandkids and many miles were spent traveling to see them.
