Mary was a creative, curious person who loved to paint, knit, and read and tell stories. As the Children’s Librarian at the Wauwatosa Public Library for more than 20 years, she used her creativity, love of puppets and storytelling to bring joy to countless kids and their families. After she retired, she pursued her love of art and learning as a docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Mary’s smile, warm heart, and laugh drew people to her. Her kindness and playful sense of humor made her beloved to many. Mary always had a book in her hand, and loved to be surrounded by beautiful woods and peaceful lakes.
