Mary was a graduate of Temple University, having earned a degree in Urban Planning in 1966. She traveled the world with her family before settling in Churchville, Maryland where she was an active member of her community. Mary served proudly with the Darlington Lions Club and was an integral member of her neighborhood book club. Mary was an accomplished Master Gardener who took pride in sharing her extensive knowledge with others and who found joy in nurturing all living things.

Mary was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Harry Adolf Greveris; by her daughter, Pamela Greveris; and by her brother, Thomas L. Murtaugh.

Mary is survived by her loving children, Robert Greveris and his girlfriend, Sarah, and Cristin Harrington and her husband, Marc. She is also survived by her dear, lifelong friend, Alberta Porter. She was cherished by her grandchildren: Dylan Short Greveris and his fiancée, Stephanie; Alexander Greveris, and Ava Greveris; Savanna Candelaria, Amelia Harrington, and Brenna Harrington; and by her great-granddaughter, Evelyn Short.

Mary cultivated many close relationships throughout her lifetime and is also survived by her dearest friends: sister-in-law, Ruth Smothers; cousin, Mary Coffina; and lifelong friend, Alberta Porter.
