Timeline for Mary Mitrou
Born: March 5, 1919
Died: April 15, 2016
Mary Jane Mitrou passed away peacefully on April 15 at Sands Point Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Port Washington, NY. Mary Jane was born on March 5th, 1919 in Galveston, Texas and over the years lived both in Galveston and Manhasset, NY. She shared her love with her husband, John, a native of New York. They fell in love at the University of Texas and were married on June 22, 1942, in the Hotel Galvez in Galveston and remained married for 67 years until John’s passing. Mary Jane loved dancing, teaching school at St. Aloysius in Great Neck, NY, and cruising the Caribbean with John. She was exceptionally kind, gentle, and loving, and those that knew her and ultimately took care of her were touched by her warmth and smile.
Mary Jane is survived by her daughter Olga-Anne Berest and husband Robert; her son Nicholas; her son Theodore and wife Madeline; her grandchildren David and Jeffrey Mitrou, Heather Berest Duckstein, Alison Berest Busching and Krista Billard; and her great-grandchildren Ryan, Lia and Anna Mitrou, Lucas and Audrey Duckstein, Jamie and Casey Busching; and Mark and Paul Billard.

My caring fifth-grade teacher, and a kind woman. God bless her and may she rest in peace.
I had Mrs.Mitrou as my 4th grade teacher at St. Aloysius. Loved to watch her pull into the parking lot (girls playground ) in her green Thunderbird. She would get out of her car, look at me and smile. She was very soft spoken. I always liked her. My sincerest condolences to her family on losing such a nice lady. May you rest in peace Mrs.Mitrou. God Bless Very Sincerely, Nancy Goodridge One of your 4th grade students from St. Al's 1967
