Mary Pat managed Vic Tanny/Bally Health Clubs for over 25 years and was a receptionist for Dr. Estigarribia for 11 years. She loved spending time with her family and pets; reading; and keeping up with friends and family on Facebook. She vacationed in the Soo every year where she kept connected with her Maple Street family and high school friends. Mary Pat loved watching all of her grandchildren excel in sports or anything at all they were involved in. She was always their biggest fan and supporter; showing off her family to anyone she met was one of her favorite things to do! Mary Pat never met a “stranger,” she was a class act who put you right at ease with her quick wit, enchanting smile, storytelling, and wicked sense of humor. This amazingly talented woman was also proud of the fact that she was the 1957 Mackinaw Bridge Dedication Princess, representing Chippewa County.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
