She also worked at John J Hebert Chevron Distributor and delivered newspapers. Mary was a loving, caring person. She was very welcoming and always had kids over at her house. Once you were family, you were always family to her. Holidays were a big thing for her, and she loved to have all her family get together and cook and bake for them. Everyone loved her fried chicken, and she was famous for her brownies. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching her favorite tv show, Wheel of Fortune and playing board, card, and domino games with her family. She enjoyed playing Bunco and loved all the ladies in her group. In their younger years, Mary and her husband bowled in a bowling league together. She enjoyed visiting with her special friends Wanda Wesch and Ida Mayes. Mary will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
