Mary graduated from George Washington High School in Alexandria then went to work at the Pentagon until she became a stay at home mom.

Mary was preceded in death by her oldest child Clarke O. Warner in 2014. Mary also had two loving daughters, Sandra (David) Miller of Beech Creek, and Tina (Bill) Garbrick of Mill Hall. Nanny had eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren that adored her: Jackson (Heidi) Warner and their children Reese, Brooks, and Bristol; Ian (Erica) Warner and Griffin, Roger (Heather) Warner and Waylon all of Mill Hall, Brian Miller of Los Angeles, Cal., Emily (Tony) Sferlazza of Lamar, Connor Garbrick of Philadelphia and Johnna Garbrick, and Alex Garbrick of Mill Hall.

Mary was a very kind-hearted mother, grandmother, and friend. She loved watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at all their activities and events. She was very involved at her children’s school and enjoyed having the gathering place for all the neighborhood kids. She also loved going shopping with her daughters and loved watching her Soap Operas.

In her younger years, she bowled in a local league for 25 years, enjoyed golfing, swimming, the beach, and shuffleboard.

Mary was also a member of the Eastern Star, a volunteer at the Lock Haven Hospital, and delivered Meals on Wheels.

Mary’s family has so many wonderful caregivers, doctors, and nurses to thank for all the amazing care they provided to her so we could keep her in her home.
