After college she married Edward Bonner and they lived in Germany with the US Army. She stayed home with three children until their youngest went to school.

Mary went to work at Chenango Forks CSD as an elementary library aid & quickly excelled. Neighboring school Chenango Valley then brought her on as their elementary librarian and paid for her to attain a Master’s Degree in Library Science from Syracuse University.

After retirement she turned her focus to become Grammy. She was devoted to her family and lovingly doted on her grandchildren. She continued to travel & spent time in Florida in winters and summered back home in NY.

Her favorite things were traveling with her D’Youville group, gardening, art, fancy restaurants and her grandchildren. Beloved, kind, caring, she will be greatly missed.
