She attended nursing school in Chicago, graduating in 1939. Mary served her country in WWII as a nurse in the Army nursing Corps from 1942 to 1945. She returned from her tour in Europe on the Queen Mary which had been converted to a troop ship. In 1952, she moved to San Diego. Mary worked for Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla as an operating room nurse for 29 years. Although never married, her life was one of service to others. Her selfless manner touched many lives in special ways. Mary loved the ocean and was happiest at her La Jolla home listening to the sounds of the waves. One of her routine rituals was walking to Mass at Mary Star of the Sea Church in La Jolla. She was preceded in death by brother Ernie, sisters Henrietta, Catherine, and Frances. She is survived by brother Ralph and eight nephews and ! nieces. She will be greatly missed by all of us. A Memorial Mass will be held on February 25, 2003, 10 a.m. at Mary Star of the Sea Church in La Jolla. Published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on 2/23/2003. (volunteer submission)
