Mary was a lover of nature in all of its beauty; she loved the great oak trees in her yard and loved to listen to the chirp of the squirrel and the song of the birds. Mary’s great heart went out to the needy and underprivileged. She gave generously to all who came to her door, and, to the unwanted and uncared for dumb animals. She was a Bible student from girlhood. Her belief was that God was love and everything good and beautiful.
