She worked as the parish secretary for St Mark's Episcopal Church for many years in Mt Kisco, New York.

I must be the oldest 'facebooker' on line!"  She loved to cook, bake bread and to try new recipes shared, seeing photos, and staying connected to the many nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors and family only separated by miles.   Mary is survived by her loving and devoted husband of nearly 71 years, William Frostick of Hillsboro, Oregon; and her three children, son, William of Bellevue, Washington; son Harry, of Fairfield, Connecticut; and daughter, Mary Gregg of Hillsboro.  She was the beloved grandmother to Allison Walberg, Thomas and Bradley Gregg;  Harry, Mary And William Frostick.  She was also blessed with six "Great Grands"; Jordan and Owen Walberg, Makena and Thomas Gregg, and Harry and Ahyva Frostick. A memorial service will be held at St. Gabriel Episcopal Church, Portland, OR on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at 1 p.m.
