Surviving Mary is her husband of 59 years George Titz; her daughters Carolyn Stanton and her husband Thomas of Woodbridge, Sharon McPherson of Jamesburg; and her two grandchildren Melissa and Christopher.

Mary was an avid reader, enjoyed many vacations to Ocean City, MD, pool parties at the house & spending time with family, especially if there was sangria to be had. Mary will be missed by all that loved & knew her. For someone that was the smallest in the family, she sure knew how to leave a lasting impression wherever she went.
