There is no one more deserving of the title of “Hero” than Mary Wingert. Known as Mamie to her many grandchildren, this woman displays heroism through her strength, diligence, and practicality. Throughout her long life (though she claims to be only twenty nine) she has learned the skills that make her a hero today. However, these skills are just three among many more.

Mary shows heroism through her strength. When her husband fell ill from cancer, she cared for him without a second thought.
