    Upon graduation, Mary was employed for a year at the Wilkes-Barre Visiting Nurse Assoc. working all over the city traveling by bus. Her cousin, Mary Bigenis, was matchmaker for her introduction to Edward Timinskas (later, Timins) during this period. They married on June 4, 1949 and moved to Philadelphia, Pa. After her children were raised, she became a charge R.N. on the night shift at St. Mary's Villa Nursing Home in Elmhurst, Pa. in 1968 and stayed until her retirement in 1990.

  • Personal Life & Family

    Mary was an active member of St. Ann Basilica Church, Scranton, Pa. and a loyal supporter of Lithuanian Heritage and Draugas News. With Edward Sr. by her side, Mary loved traveling.

She enjoyed Scranton's Broadway Theater League, Community Concerts, trips to the casinos in Atlantic City, and Civil War battlefields. Mary has always generously helped her family. She was a hard-working woman who sacrificed to make things better for her children and grandchildren. Mom never forgot a birthday. She was an avid reader, gardener, and baker. When her children were enrolled at St. Michael's elementary school, she volunteered as a seamstress making many of the costumes worn in the annual musicals and plays. She was active in Our Lady of Good Counsel Society at that time. Mary was loved for her gentle, caring, and generous nature. She was admired for her creativity, strength, and free spirit. Her ability to listen with an open mind and without judgement made her a great person to have a meaningful relationship with. With a truly caring heart, she offered unique insights and advice, especially when proofreading her daughter's research and professional writing. Mom always encouraged us to be forgiving and drummed it into us to always use common sense, a notion instilled while in nursing school. Her motto was: "God helps those who help themselves.", a proverb by Benjamin Franklin that got her through the difficult times.
