Mary was preceded in death by her parents and siblings except for Janet Worsham.
Mary started working at Emanuel Hospital in Turlock as a Certified Nursing Assistant when she was 17 and later attended MJC for her certification to become an LVN. Mary worked at Emanuel Hospital until she retired at age 65.
Mary married Eugene Lively when she was 18 and they divorced after eleven years. Mary and Eugene did not have any children, but Mary was loved by her nieces and nephews which she considered her children.
Mary was a kind and loving person. She was a very giving person and was always willing to help anyone that needed help.
Even though Mary was a private person she loved to join in and play Bingo often.
