In 1930, December 25th, Mary was born in London, England to John and Mary Heath. Times were not good then, the country was in a depression. At the age of 9, WWII was raging in the country. She watched London burn. As a young woman, Mary was a secretary for a shipping company. She progressed and had three children. She loved her vacations going to Ramsgate in Kent because the sea was so beautiful to her. She also loved her dogs and the mountains. Mary was a proud woman even though very sick. She would dress nice and use her lipstick and perfume everyday. Mary touched many lives, she would give her care givers a hard time sometimes but they all loved her. Some would call her queen and others just like her British accent and all would listen to her life stories. She loved to plant flowers every spring and eating at Red Lobster. Then she contracted breast cancer and was deemed free. In 2007 came diabetes. She conquered ovarian cancer but in 2008 it returned. Her cancer was in stage 4 and she went to dialysis three times a week. After her 80th birthday, she was tired of always being in pain and let go on January 20, 2011.

We will miss her dearly and love her forever and ever and never forget her. We love you.

Mom, Nanny, Grannie, Grandma, and Great Grandma.
