Condolences to all her family and friends, Mary was a light in my life after meeting her several years ago. Mary never complained and she adored everyone she met. -she contributed such a great deal to the community. Mary often spoke kindly of people and talked about Mavis and her dancing days and how she danced on Top of the Pops. Mary fought tooth and nail for residents, the Senior Citizen Forum, Direct payments, and raised funds for a variety of organisations, in addition to doing a great deal of other things. Regeneration in addition to all of the models she created. Mary served the community of Plymouth in such a significant capacity as a volunteer. Mary, her words of wisdom to younger generations, and her role as the voice of so many people will be sorely missed. Mary was also a veteran, just like her father, who had served in the Royal Navy for his entire life, and she had worked as a civil servant for Lambeth Council. Mary was recognised for the time and effort she put into helping local councillors and MPs, for which she received awards. The Plymouth Herald also acknowledged Mary's accomplishments. In addition to the fact that she organised Tea Dances on Plymouth Hoe. Mary was, without a doubt, an unsung hero in the community, and she deserved an OBE for all the work that she did. The older generations are forgotten, which is something that Mary would not want. Mary won’t be forgotten. On a personal scale there are too many memories we shared but each memory I have I’ll cherish. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart and home. May you now rest with Pete, Robert, Mavis, Dad and all your family in the heavenly realm. Such a wonderful honour to have known you Mary xxx
