She graduated from Clinton High School in 2007 in Clinton, Illinois and moved to Jacksonville, FL when she was 18 years old. She attended and graduated from FSCJ in 2012 with her teaching degree. She had a passion for children and a love for teaching. Mary had a beautiful smile with deep dimples that could light up any room. Her sense of humor was infectious. She loved making people laugh with her big Puerto Rican smile and loved Mexican food. She often stopped whatever she was doing to get a quick bite of it. Besides spending time with her family and friends, Mary loved people. You could not be around her more than a few minutes before hearing about her family, Erik, Carter and Herc (her Dog Son). She loved being a “Boy Mom” to her son, Carter and was so excited to go on vacation with them. Mary touched so many lives and was loved by so many that she will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed. Mary was preceded in death by her mother-in-law, Debra Peeples.
