Mary A. McGuire (nee Schodowski) of Morrisville, PA and formerly of Hainesport, NJ died peacefully on Friday, April 18, 2014 after a 4 year battle with multiple myeloma. She was 69.

Born in Staten Island, NY, Mary was the devoted daughter of Dominic J. and Helen E. Blackford Schodowski.

Mary was an accomplished fine artist, doll maker and puppeteer. She had been a member of the Levittown Artist Association and held many awards for her landscapes and portraitures.
