Mary Elizabeth was a 1949 Graduate of St. Francis Sanatorium Nursing School. 
She was a nursing professional until her retirement in 1993. In the early years 
of her career she worked at The Children's Clinic and for Dr. George Varino. 
For the remainder of her career she worked at St. Francis Hospital. She was 
most proud of the years she worked as Head Nurse of the Recovery Room. During 
this time she was a member of the American Society of Post Anesthesia Nurses 
and served as a Board Director from 1985 to 1987.

Mary's personal creed was faith, family and friends. She loved to go to 
the "picture show", play cards and have a good time! She was an avid fan of 
Patrick Swayze and George Clooney. Mama/ Mamaw/Great-Grand will be deeply 
missed by her family. She was the rock we all leaned on and from whom we all 
sought advice. We celebrate her life!

Visitation will be held Thursday, July 18th from 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. at 
Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA. Wake services and rosary 
will begin at 6:00 P.M.

The family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff of The Avalon Nursing 
Home, Hospice Family Alliance, Senior Care Sitting Service and the Nurses and 
Staff of St. Francis Hospital.

Memorials may be made to St. Vincent de Paul Society or Our Lady of Fatima 
Catholic Church.
