Having worked as a language arts teacher for 30 years, Mary loved chocolate M&M’s all her life. In response, her students nicknamed her ‘M&M’, associating Mary’s initials with M&M’s. Usually, his classroom was filled with M&Ms chocolates and toys given to him by students.

It is said that Mary has been preparing for a funeral worthy of her nickname for years. He wanted to build a coffin to express his gratitude to the 5,000 students he taught. So he designed a coffin in the shape of a blue M&Ms character himself and entrusted his son with making it.
