In addition to her love for baking, Mary had a passion for gardening and cooking, where she enriched those around her with delightful meals and beautiful flowers. Her enthusiasm for sports was also notable, as she enjoyed Ohio State football, the Tennessee Titans, hockey and NASCAR. She loved classic rock, her all time favorite band being Rush!
