She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers Nick Bleggi, Joseph Minissale and Frank Minissale.

Mary worked various jobs over the years including Cunningham Drugs, Target and Meijers, but truly enjoyed working for Al Dente Pasta in Whitmore Lake. She loved gardening and cherished the time she was able to spend with her nieces, nephews and other family members.

Mary liked to take care of herself. She was into good health, nutrition and even dabbled in massage therapy. You always knew when Mary was home because you could always find either Columbo, Monk or Perry Mason on her TV.
