Our deepest condolences to the family. My mother, Edna Urbanski, also taught for many years in North Haven schools, and remembers Mary fondly. I remember her daughter Lynn from my student days as well. Lynn was always such a fine student whom I admired; I’m sure that her love of learning came from Mary’s inspiration and encouragement! Such wonderful memories. May God bless you during this difficult time of great loss.
