As a past board member of Opera Grand Rapids, the Grand Rapids Symphony, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, and the Grand Rapids Ballet, for which she also served as Board President, and a long-time supporter of St. Cecilia Music Center, Mary has shown a firm commitment to supporting the arts in Grand Rapids for decades. Mary and her family have been long-time supporters of SCMC and she has been a part of our family since her childhood, when she participated in dances recitals in our hall. SCMC is thrilled to honor Mary, who has had a significant impact on the cultural life of Grand Rapids, with an evening of music, dance, and celebration.
