Fellow classmate Joseph Hubbard informed us recently about the death of classmate Mary Sue Richards Zajdel. She passed away on October 24, 2022, at the age of 74, from Parkinson's Disease. 

Mary received an Associate's Degree in Nursing from Montgomery College. She worked at several local hospitals and spent most of her career as a postpartum nurse at Shady Grove Hospital. In August 1968 she married Thomas James Zajdel. They raised six children, Ann Marie, James, John, Katherine, Joseph and Michael. Mary was a devout Catholic serving the church in a variety of roles throughout her life. Mary was known as a self-less person who would help anyone who needed assistance. She was fiercely independent and determined. The Zajdel household was always full of people, including four-legged creatures. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2001 and fought a long battle with this disease. Mary was preceded in death by her husband Tom, daughter Katherine, son Michael and son-in-law Peter. She is survived by four of her six children.
