As a St. Peter Church volunteer who comes into The Avenue to pray the Rosary once a month with residents, I had the privilege of getting to know Mary Polchek, a wonderful Catholic lady. She and I had very lively conversations together about a wide range of topics, including family. Mary was very proud of her Polish heritage and always dedicated her Rosaries to her large family, which was evident she loved very much.
I'll always remember the day when I saw Mary with bright blue hair! Being aware of her great sense of humor and the twinkle in her eye, I knew she was having fun with her bold "new look."
I will miss Mary in this life but hope to see her in the next. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of Jesus.
