Mary M. Fay was born November 11, 1932 in St. Peter to Helen (Staples) and P. Victor Fay. Mary attended John Ireland School in St. Peter and graduated from Good Counsel Academy with honors in music in 1950. She wanted her appreciation to the school Sisters of Notre Dame known for 12 years of music lessons and her formal education.

After retiring in 1995 she continued this ministry; taking her synthesizer to many nursing homes and assisted living homes in the surrounding area. She leaves behind many great memories for her family and friends to cherish. She was a very loving and thoughtful person who will be missed greatly by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
