Mary was the daughter of the late John P. and Ellen J. (Regan) Welch. She was a proud graduate of Norwood High School, Class of 1958. Mary continued her education at Emmanuel College where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree. After college, Mary began her career in education as a teacher in Washington, D.C., eventually returning home to Norwood.

In her later years she worked as a teacher at St. Catherine’s as well as a customer service representative for the former Bird Roofing Company. In her spare time, Mary enjoyed traveling with her very special group of high school girlfriends. She will be forever remembered as a sun worshiper who loved her summer days enjoying her cottage on Long Island, ME and the beaches of Cape Cod.
