Growing up with Sean, I was at the Cooneys’ house often. Mary was always so nice and happy to host Sean’s friends when we needed a place to hang out as bored kids in Medford. One of my fondest (and funniest) memories of Mary was Halloween when Sean and I were in middle school. We were trick-or-treating through Tamarac when we were walking through someone’s front yard. Little did I know, there was a fish pond in the yard and I tripped into it as I couldn’t see it in the night. Sean heard a commotion, walked near to where I was to ask what happened, and in the process, also fell in. We were both soaked (and our pillow cases full of candy) and trekked back to the house to get a change of clothes. For some reason Sean had no clean socks to lend me, so, after laughing hysterically at what happened, Mary graciously offered me a pair of her socks and we headed back out for more candy. One of many great memories! Mary will be missed dearly.
Mary was such a wonderful person. I did not need to interact with her frequently at CHOP, but every time, I was in touch with her about anything, she was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and would follow through until the project was completed or the question answered. It was quickly apparent that Mary really cared about the people around her and about doing, and being, her best all the time. May your memories provide you with comfort over the coming days.
We will never forget Mary's contributions and collaboration with our Infection Prevention Team at CHOP as well as her emergency preparedness work. It was my pleasure to have known her and I will forever remember her smiling face! We truly miss her.
Saddened to learn of Mary's passing. I had the opportunity to meet and work with her during the implementation of the "KAPS" project at CHOP. A very kind and caring person who always came prepared to meetings. She read meeting minutes, reviewed documents, made sure Occupational Health was ready for the implementation. A wonderful lady.

I met Mary several years ago when I was new to CHOP, and going through a difficult time. She was kind and generous, and I'm am forever grateful to her for that.
Mary, I will miss you. You were such a wonderful person to work with and always welcomed me with your beautiful smile. My sincere condolences to your family.
