Mary Bloom Hyman (1927-2024) was born and grew up on Cape Cod. She married the love of her life Sigmund “Sig” Hyman (1921-2002) of Baltimore, and together the couple chose Stevenson, Maryland as their residence. Even though Mary lived in Maryland most of her adult life, she visited Cape Cod regularly and always made time to stop at the Cape Cod Museum of Art to chat with the staff and check on the museum’s progress.
