She loved the holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

Mary worked as a Legal Assistant for many years and in her later years for the Department of Corrections as a Human Resources Representative.  She made many friends along the way.  She enjoyed traveling, playing Bingo, Mahjong, a good poker game, taking trips with her senior groups and the smell of fresh cut grass and burning leaves in the Fall.

McDonough.  Cherished mother of Nancy Geourntas and her husband Alex of Roslindale, David of Mansfield, Christopher of West Roxbury, Peter of East Boston and Susan Rolfe and her husband Chadd of Whitman.
