Mrs Mannion retired last week and said she is looking forward to travelling and spending more time with her husband.
"I will cherish my time at St Mary's as the school’s secretary for 25 years," she said.
"I have seen so many students go through their primary education and then seeing some of them return to school with their children. I am extremely grateful for the role that everyone has played throughout my years at St Marys, students, staff and parents.
"My husband and I are looking forward to our sea change, with our children and grandchildren.”
School Principal Louise Grant wished Mary good luck in her retirement but said she will miss her.
"Mary has so many shining virtues and she has inspired all of us at St Mary’s to be the best we can be,” she said.
"Her spirit of service is legendary and her legacy will be long lasting."
