Mary graduated from Fordham with a Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching and became an Elementary School Teacher at PS 24. In 1954, at the age of 25 she married the love of her life, Robert E. Becker also from the Bronx who predeceased Mary in 2008. They were married 54 years.
Mary was deeply devoted to her husband Bob and her four children. She enjoyed playing piano at parties and sing-a-longs with friends. Montauk was Mary and Bob’s favorite get away where Bob enjoyed fishing while Mary spent many summers living on their boat and eventually in a waterfront apartment. Mary also enjoyed gardening and had become a surrogate Mom to some of her younger beloved friends who will also miss her dearly.
