Mary “Minnie” Montague

Known affectionately as “Minnie,” Mary Montague was Kay Morris’s mother and a beloved member of the Old Favorites team. Her exacting care for the shop's records and catalogs created the organizational backbone that allowed Old Favorites to serve its customers with confidence and continuity.
