“Sister Mary” as we respectfully refer to her, was born in Layfette, Indiana, and is the oldest of 12 siblings. Eight of the siblings are still living with their families. Mary has a master’s degree in theology from St. Bonaventure, New York. She taught in public and private schools, and also taught “teacher training” in religion. She was a consultant for religious teacher’s manuals for Sadler Publishing Company for 15-20 years. She also served at Sister of Providence for 45 years. Mary has traveled throughout Europe and this country and has lived in California, South Texas and Washington, D.C. She also served on the Human Relations Committee for the City of Winter Haven.
Mary enjoys many things—classical music, scripture study, puzzles, trivia, sports, reading, literature and conversations with friends regarding current and world events. Mary is very quick-witted and is “in tune” with society today. She is an active member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and offers Bible study to our residents every Saturday morning. She is still in contact with many of her students on a regular basis. Mary has been a resident here at LHH for 3 years and loves the company of residents and staff.
