She was especially proud to serve as a cadet nurse during World War II and her long career as a visiting nurse for Hingham VNA.

Mary was a longtime parishioner of St. Paul’s Parish in Hingham, where she served as a Eucharistic minister while devoting her time as a spiritual mentor to others.

Mary was the dear sister of Sonia Keegan and late husband Laurence of Falmouth, the late Barbara O’Neil and husband David, the late Paul McNamara and surviving wife Eileen of Whitman, and the late Jane Wood and husband Philip. She also is survived by her sister-in-law, Geraldine (Dever) Mayer of Quincy, and many loving nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to greet the family during the visiting hours on Wednesday, Nov. 10, from 4-8 p.m. in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21 Emerald Street (off Central Street), Hingham.
