She was a supporter and member of WIZO-Hadassah, JNF, Israel Bonds, the Art Gallery of Windsor, Windsor Symphony Orchestra, and was honored as Woman of the Year by Emunah Women. Mary was dedicated to Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue, serving on the Board of Directors, being active in its Sisterhood, attending services, sponsoring lectures and concerts, setting up shalosh seudot, and enjoying Torah study and holidays.In her own quiet way, Mary did much for other people, asking nothing in return, except maybe for a ride home. Always thinking of others and in service to the community, Mary was generous in her philanthropy. She endowed an annual scholarship for minority students at the University of Windsor; and provided a general use donation to the Wanda and Harry Zekelman International School for Chabad Leadership in Oak Park, ensuring the ongoing operations of the school in perpetuity. Known as the Bubby of the Cheder, Mary dedicated a classroom at the Lubavitch girl's school in Oak Park, and spent her birthdays there, being entertained by the children. When Mary could no longer go to Oak Park, the children would come to Windsor to celebrate her birthday. Mary also supported Rabbi Galperin and the Chabad of Windsor. Mary enjoyed attending art fairs, art galleries and museums. She was a self-taught artist, painting landscapes in oil, self-published a book of poetry, and volunteered as "Miss Mary" tutoring public school children in reading skills. Contributions in Mary's memory may be made to Shaar Hashomayim or Chabad of Windsor.
