Mary moved to New Orleans where she met Robert "Bob" Lake whom she married. Mary worked at Parisian and Belk for 20 years and enjoyed serving her many loyal customers. She was a faithful member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church for 50 years. Mary loved spending time guiding and teaching children. She taught hundreds of children in religious classes and was a Girl Scout leader to many. Christ was the center of her life. She passed that love of Christ and the Church to the children she taught and to her own children and grandchildren. She was a selfless giver and a tireless worker for Christ's Kingdom. Mary had a deep love for the unborn and was a lifelong pro-life advocate. She had many talents, from playing drums in a local band while in high school to always wining the family trivial pursuit marathons at the annual family beach trip. Mom valiantly fought a fierce 7 year battle against breast cancer. The things that sustained her those 7 years was her strong faith in God, her prayers and the prayers of others, love of life and family. She was a wonderful mom and grandmother and will be dearly missed.
