Mary LaRoche-Cullotta Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 9, 2008.
SANDWICH — Mary Victoria LaRoche-Cullotta, 53, entered into eternal life on Saturday, Aug. 2, 2008.

Born April 5, 1955, in Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., Mary was the daughter of William A. Stowe of Swanzey, N.H., and the late Bernadette M. Stowe. She resided on Cape Cod for 25 years, after spending her childhood years growing up in New Hampshire.

After graduating from Monadnock Regional High School in 1972, Mary worked in various banking institutions throughout New England. While living on Cape Cod, she worked for the Hyannis Radio Station WQRC and Kommenda Associates Realty. Together with her husband, Paul Cullotta, of Cullotta Painting, Mary ventured to start her own business, LaRoche-Dubois Design. Through this endeavor, Mary was able to accentuate her flair and fulfill her passion for interior design.

For many years, Mary also enjoyed planning and participating in fundraisers for her son Cameron's school, the Bridgeview Montessori School in Sagamore.

Mary enjoyed traveling along the Canadian coast, through the European cities of Rome and London, and touring the British Territory Gibralter, enjoying her favorite Fauna, the monkey. In her spare time, she cultivated many beautiful flora around the grounds of her home in Sandwich.

She was survived by her husband, Paul, and son, Cameron Cullotta; her father, William A. Stowe, of Swanzey, N.H.; sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Charles Malony, of Milford, N.H.; brother and sister-in-law Michael and Belinda Conway of Elk Grove, Calif.; and brother Robert Conway Jr. of Londonderry, N.H.; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Nancy and Michael Collin's of Hopedale; and nieces and nephews, including Kelly M. and Michael Tyler of Clinton, Katie Malony and Timothy Putnam of Wilton, N.H., and Amanda Malony and Patrick Malony of Milford, N.H., Christopher and Megan Collins of Mendon, and Julie Collins of Framingham.

A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 2 p.m., in the John-Lawrence Funeral Home, 3778 Falmouth Road (Route 28), Marstons Mills. Visiting hours are on Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers and in tribute of Mary's mothers, donations may be made to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, the Alzheimer's Disease Foundation or the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.


There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
