I’m seeing this very late; Mary was a sweetheart. The last time I saw her she came in to my salon just to say hi and bring me chocolate. She and Eleanor are reunited, they were always together. My condolences to the family.
Sweet lady and a trooper, always had a smile when ever we bumped into each other in the hallway across from Dad and Mom. The Oliver family

Mary was always a very well dressed pleasant loving lady. Every time I walked into the Roseland Ballroom I would go over to Mary and give her a great big hug and look at her beautiful smile!
I will miss being able to do that!
