Born Mary Dolores on March 6, 1929 in West Mifflin, PA to Victor and Angelina (née Bettin) Scariot. She received a nursing degree from St Francis Hospital in August 1950 and board certification as a nurse anesthetist in 1956. Mary continued nursing for 45 years at various Pennsylvania hospitals: St Francis, Ohio Valley, McGee Women's, Temple University, and Allegheny General from which she retired in 1989. She and her husband relocated to Pensacola, FL where she continued part-time in home healthcare until 1994 and then as teacher’s aide in local public schools until the late 1990s. Besides nursing, Mary had a passion for education and international travel. At age 48, she received a Bachelor of Science in Education from California State College in California, PA (now California University). She taught at La Roche College (now University) in the 1970s. She visited more than 25 countries, especially Northern Italy and Sweden to visit her and her husband’s families. Her travels with the Brother’s Brother Foundation to administer vaccinations in the 1960s and 70s took her to Nicaragua, Bolivia, Honduras, and El Salvador. She was board secretary for the Pennsylvania Association of Nurse Anesthetists (PANA) in the 1970s and 80s. A voracious reader and music lover, she had a special regard for The Three Tenors. Mary was a political independent and proud of having campaigned door-to-door for H. Ross Perot in 1992 and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. She was known for being good spirited even when teased by family, friends, and colleagues.
