She played her harp at the Dunes in Las Vegas, and was a member of the orchestra at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe; where she entertained along the sides of many celebrities in the 1970’s and 80’s. She also celebrated many weddings in the Great Basin area. She was a member of the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and the Carson City Chamber Orchestra. She played beautifully and was a consummate entertainer. Mary was loved and will be greatly missed by her family, numerous friends, and her cat, “Shredder”.
