Who was Mary Joseph ?

Mary Joseph was born on August 11-1925, she was a very kind, loving and hard working lady, all her life she gave to other so much of her time especially with sick people, she also gave freely to those who did not had food, clothes, shoes, medicines and more.

Mary did this for over fifty years of her life, helping people especially in the third world countries she would used her own personal money each week to buy foods, medicine, shoes, clothes and more, she would shop in Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth, New Jersey and New York. Then every week end she would pack the boxes and send them off with a smiling face.

Mary had a joy on her face especially when she was packing the boxes to send to these people who did not had anything to eat and were sick.
Mary always believe God love a cheerful giver so she gave willingly to others.

In the late 1980 Mary saw her two cousins Willie and Fann came down with Alzheimer's and it really devastated her, then in early 1991 Mary came down with Alzheimer's until 1998 she die from the Alzheimer's disease.

In Alzheimer’s disease many studies show memory for old events are preserved till the advanced stages of the disease. In the early stages, the ability to learn new things are impaired. Since the common man assumes that memory for old events are more important, some individuals who have Alzheimer's disease is not brought to the doctor who specialize in treating Alzheimer's disease in the early stages of the disease.


Even if a individual with changes in intellectual capability is taken to a doctor, general physicians with limited experience in treating Alzheimer’s disease will rarely make a specific diagnosis of this disease. Although awareness is increasing, many misconceptions prevail among medical practitioners. Some family members continue to make this mistake.
