Mary and her husband Carmen Scharibone
Lifelong lovebirds, Mary and Carmen met in his taxicab. He drove his way into her heart. They were married 62 wonderful years.
Mary at General Motors
Mary worked at the General Motors factory in Ewing, NJ for over 45 years. This was something of which she was very proud. She would have worked longer, but they finally closed the factory.
At her son's wedding
In 1998, Mary and Carmen had the pleasure of attending their son's wedding to Heni. It was a wonderful wedding, Frank's sons, Frank Jr. and Thomas, where the best men. Frank's Daughter Marianne and Heni's Daughter Monica where the brides maids.
A pround grandmom
1971, Mary proudly holds her first born grandchild. The written note on the back of the photo reads, "a good 13 pounds". This may have been a sign of things to come, as a few of his friends now refer to him as "big guy". Of course, she always thought of him as her little grandson, and someone to care for.
A birthday tradition
Growing up, a birthday always meant having a Carvel ice cream cake at grandmom's. Usually, a metal sparkler would be used, but any candle available would do in a pinch. The cake tasted just as good.
In this photo, Mary celebrates her grandson Frank's 8th birthday with her husband Carmen, Her daughter-in-law Debbie, and her grandchildren (left to right) Marianne, Thomas and Frank.
