Mary was a hard worker with her husband on their dairy, chicken ranch. She enjoyed gardening, cooking and handcrafts. She always welcomed guests into their home and dinner table, serving produce and meat raised on their ranch.
These last 9-1/2 years, Mary was cared for in home by her loyal, devoted and loving caregiver Jijilia Bulivou and her daughters Christine Smith and Lisa Lani Lani. We are so grateful to them and also to Hospice of Petaluma.
