Mary was the proud Grandma to 17 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren. Mary was sister to Lucille Casias and beloved by nieces, nephews and a lifetime of friends.

Mary was 94 years young and still enjoyed every moment with her family.

Mary’s life was one full of love and gratitude and shared kindness. Mary was the adopted grandma for so many who she embraced throughout her life. They all called her grandma. Her home was always the gathering place for family and friends. Mary was affectionately known as the “Tamale lady” by everyone who knew her. Mary loved life and lived it fully, earning another moniker “The Queen of Bingo”. She also loved the joy of anticipation that came with her love of scratch tickets.

She will be missed dearly by all those who knew her and loved her. Her life and love is forever etched on those that celebrate her now.
