Heaven’s a lot more fun since Mary Lynn has arrived. And you can bet everybody’s been through her etiquette class. She fits right in as the new “special events coordinator” for God himself. Count on a welcoming front porch just like hers in Washington Park, an Irish welcome, an ear to listen and a hand to lend along with an introduction to everybody she knows and a social schedule to follow.
She comes highly recommended due to her experience in event planning for Marine Bank, hosting conferences in the likes of Alcatraz, Colonial Williamsburg, the USS Springfield and more fun and exciting places.
She was pivotal in helping women obtain credit in the banking world … a world 50 years ago when women didn’t have credit cards let alone obtain mortgages or loans. She was behind the scenes of Breadline Sunday, Marine Bank’s “Student of the Year” and too many others to mention.
As a single mother of five, she would go back to obtain her degrees and her maiden name and lived life as a strong woman who broke through many glass ceilings in the banking world.
