a lifelong parishioner of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Palms where she 
helped clean the church and make bread for communion.  Mary spent her life 
as a dairy farmer and homemaker; feeding calves, driving tractors and 
trucks, gardening, canning, and keeping a spotless home.  She enjoyed time 
spent with her family, going to church, saying the rosary and novenas.  In
