Aunt Mary had a great fáilte for everyone, especially if you were over from Ireland. Every time we visited 498 she extended her warm,generous, hospitality. You never left the house empty handed. She was a great host and her St. Patrick's Day parties, so I am told, were legendary. Gerard Evelyn and family surrounded her with their loving care. We have fond memories and will miss her greatly.

What a wonderful woman was my Aunt Mary, jovial, caring, loving, generous, entertaining . What a fountain of knowlege about her ancestors and family in the USA and in Ireland. She knew more about Connemara than I (who was born & bred there) will ever do. Our visits to Boston can never be the same again. "Leaba i measc na n-aingeal agat" ("May your bed be with the angels").It was indeed a privilege to have known you.We will never forget you. Martan Carey, Toni, Caoimhe, Roisin + Padraic. Spiddal, Ireland

You were the essence of a "beautiful lady" and will be missed by all who knew you. I did not know you personally, but my mom (Anna Slack) did and she adored you and often spoke of you. God Bless.
