Mary worked at Buddy L Toy Factory in East Moline and also worked at a sewing factory producing uniforms for service members during WWII. Mary had a passion for all types of crafting especially crocheting and quilting. She enjoyed working in her yard and gardening until two weeks before her death. She was a devout Catholic who believed in the power of prayer and was very active in Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Women's Group and the Funeral Luncheon Committee. She loved to cook, made the best Mexican food, especially enchiladas. Above all she loved her family and cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her husband Robert, she was preceded in death by her son, Gerard Magana; brother Manuel Ramos; and Mother, Rosa Ramos. We extend our appreciation to Genesis Hospice, Genesis MedSurg Ward, especially Sarojini Ratnakar MD and all the nurses (especially granddaughter Amy Rigsby - RN) who cared for her until the end. Mary always said - "When God says come forth, he doesn't mean fifth".
