Mary was a hard-working woman who made friends everywhere she went. Her life’s focus was to find the silver lining in every situation she encountered. While she held many positions throughout her career days, her most beloved positions were at Quik-E Foods, as a store owner at T&W in Monroe, and Frito-Lay. Even if her official job changed her love, passion and ability for cooking good food remained. Whether it be at work or home she was always cooking up something good, filling bellies and bringing smiles to faces all around.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with her at Frito Lay for years and was instantly drawn to her positivity and energy. She is the most eccentric and interesting person I ever had the pleasure of meeting. We had just reconnected last year and I was almost in disbelief to hear from her again, I was so excited. You are loved and will be missed Mary. 💝
