Mary was born and raised in Camden but lived her entire married life in Gibbstown. She was a member of the St. Michael's Church and Ladies Auxiliary, was an original member of the Gibbstown Pool where she loved to swim and talk with her lady friends. Her husband built her a restaurant in Pitman called Stan and Mary's and her great love of ice cream played an important part in her rejoining the work force after raising their children. In her spare time you could find her in Atlantic City playing the slot machines. And winning too! Mom will be dearly missed, never forgotten and forever in our hearts.
