Born in Dover, NJ, Mary was a longtime resident of Frenchtown. She was employed RTS Packaging in Pittstown for over 45 years. Mary also cooked at the Cornerstone Café in Frenchtown. Mary was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Mary loved time with her family, preparing meals, watching her favorite shows or just going for a walk. She worked hard to provide for her family and was always the first to volunteer to assist anyone in need. Mary was a nature lover, especially animals and birds. Sunflowers were a favorite of hers.

Mary was the wife of the late Michael Stanford and the daughter of the late Walter and Louise Damiano Heady.
