She was born to the late Anthony and Marguerite Woods and was a lifelong resident of Willimantic having attended St. Joseph’s elementary school, Windham High School and later The Morse School of Business. While working for the Social Security Administration office in Willimantic Mary met her future husband Ugo with whom she would have two children, Joanne and Jeff. She then worked for 30 years as the secretary of Sweeney School where she made many lifelong friends. After retirement, she enjoyed regular lunch outings where they would catch up and reminisce about their former exploits.
Mary enjoyed baking, knitting, crochet and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also enjoyed watching sports, especially the local New England pro teams. Mary was a kind and generous woman and we will miss her immensely.
