Mary Irene Pappas Scholarship

The Mary Irene Pappas Scholarship was established in 2024 by her loving family to honor her memory. Mary was a Life Member of the Ladies’ Literary Club, joining in October 1974. A former teacher, she was an ardent supporter of the scholarship program and an enthusiastic participant in the club’s many activities. Mary is remembered as warm, funny, and interesting, “the blessing her family deserved.”
