Mary Joseph was born on August 11, 1925. She was a very kind, loving, and hard working lady. All of her life she gave to others so much of her time, especially with the sick. She also gave freely to those who did not have food, clothes, shoes, medicines, and more.
 

Mary did this for over fifty years of her life, helping people, especially in third-world countries. Each week she would use her own money to buy foods, medicine, shoes, clothes. and more. She would shop in Newark, Jersey City, and Elizabeth, New Jersey and also in New York. Then every weekend she would pack the boxes and send them off with a smile on her face.

Mary had a smile on her face especially when she was packing the boxes to send to those people who did not had anything to eat and were sick. Mary always believed God loved a cheerful giver, so she gave willingly to others.

In the late 1980s Mary saw her two cousins, Willie and Fann, came down with Alzheimer's. It really devastated her. Then, in early 1991, Mary came down with Alzheimer's, and had it until 1998, when she die from the Alzheimer's disease.
