Mary was a very devoted and active member of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Detroit, Michigan, for many years. She served on the Parish Council, and was also a very active and loyal member of Holy Trinity's Pokrova Sisterhood, where she held offices on the Executive Board. Mary was dedicated to visiting ill and shut-in parishoners and Sisterhood members, always sending them copies of the weekly Church bulletin ("The Trinitarian") so that they would be kept informed of parish life at Holy Trinity.
