Seymour - Mary Ellen (Coakley) Krabbe, 86, of Seymour, passed away Wednesday, June 13, 2018, at Meadow Wood Assisted Living, Seymour. She was born August 20, 1931, daughter of the late, Leo and Ruth (Saylor) Coakley. On April 19, 1952, she was united in marriage to Donald Krabbe. He preceded her in death on February 12, 2005.

Mary was an active member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Stephensville and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Seymour.

She then opened and operated her business, The Crabbe Reader—Bookstore and Yarn Shop in Seymour for over twenty years until her second retirement in 2017.
