Mary (Marie) Pallister
12-31-1935 to 11-02-2019
Mother of Tom & Joe Pallister, grandmother of Jordan Pallister, sister of Angie Green,
daughter of Jean and Joseph Calabro.
There isn’t one person who knew Mary Pallister who has anything but wonderful things to say about her. She lived every day of her life with a positive attitude and a beautiful smile on her face. She was an incredible, kind, sensitive, strong and fiercely independent woman.
She was at home in her garden and proud of the work she did. Her boundless energy and spark was the envy of everyone who knew her. Whether you knew her from Gators, Callahan’s, The Buttery or just around Hampton Bays, you knew her personality which was brimming with kindness and love.
She was the guiding light and driving force in our lives, striving to set an example for us to be caring, thoughtful people. Mom was, and always will be, our ‘Hero’ and we will always remember her that way.

Springtime
Oh, spring came to my garden
And caught it unaware
Wearing just a few old leaves
And a dejected air.
But when spring left my garden,
Its work so deftly done,
Many, many Daffodils
Were dancing in the sun.
