Mary had been employed as a waitress at the Red Fez Restaurant in Boston's South End for many years and prior to her retirement she had worked at the Ames Department Store in Hanover. Her focus in life was staying current on world events, but most important was her devotion to her grandchildren.

She was the sister of the late Thomas, John and William Barron.

    I have been dreading this day since the day I met Rhonda. Dinner at home will never be the same. Your chair will now be empty, yet it will always be your seat. The loss we now deal with will be a long time healing. You have and always will be a part of my childrens lives. I will miss you and the private talks we shared. This year when I go out back to smoke a cigar I will look to my right and know that you will be sitting with us. I love you. I pray hard that you and dad share eternal life and laugh and joke like I remember. Until we meet again......Tom
