Mary Elizabeth Connolly passed away peacefully on March 2, 2021 at the age of 87. Mary was born and raised in Winthrop and Revere, Massachusetts where she grew to adore the ocean and beach. As the youngest of five children, Mary always lived her life with exuberance, zest and humor. Mary was an avid reader, loved movies and music and made others laugh often with her intelligence and wit. Mary married Timothy C. Connolly (who preceded her in death) and together they moved to Florida in 1959. Mary is survived by her four children: Linda, Timothy, Michael, and Lisa (Stuart), her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. Mary loved her entire family; lighting up whenever they were home to visit or just calling to say hello. Mary’s family will hold a Celebration of Life Service on March 19, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at Baldwin-Fairchild Oaklawn Chapel, 5000 County Road 46A, Sanford, FL.
