Mary Hayes Memorial Service

 

Mary Hayes was a beloved and devoted mother who died suddenly of a brain aneurysm, leaving her sons Michael and BJ without the funds to cover her funeral services.  

Their mother Mary was the rock on which her family stood, always offering a firm foundation of love and support. When they lost their father to sudden death during BJ's freshman year as a new Georgetown basketball recruit, Mary was there to lean on and guide her sons with their grief.  Despite being a new widow with an empty nest, Mary unselfishly encouraged her sons to pursue their future dreams.

Mary was full of kindness and compassion and shared that love with anyone she encountered including family, neighbors, friends and even strangers in need. She brought a warmth and peace to those around her and although her time with us has been cut short, her legacy will live on through Michael, BJ and her grandsons "Deuce" and "Peanut".
