Mary Morancie died peacefully on February 3, 2026, after battling Alzheimer. Born February 19, 1942, in Saratoga, New York. Mary was the daughter of Agnes and Frederick Bryant and grew up in Ballston Spa, New York with 3 brothers, Donald, David and James and 1 sister, Leslie.
In 1970, Mary moved to Lynn and then Tewksbury Massachusetts to raise her three children Susan, Billy and Barry and her three stepchildren Carolyn, Larry and Colleen (our version of the Brady Bunch). In early to mid-1970s, as the children were getting older, Mary found employment at Microwave Associates where she met the love of her life, Ross Morancie. Mary and Ross ultimately lived out their lives and settled down in Dexter, Maine.
Mary was an avid reader and had many hobbies, including genealogy, where she carefully filled in the branches of the Bryant family tree. She loved the thrill of the game, whether it was a competitive round of golf or a quiet night playing Scrabble with friends and family.
Mary was pre-deceased by her husband, Ross Morancie, mother, father and sister, Leslie Robinson. Surviving are her children, Susan Billcliff and husband Jim of Kingston, NH, sons, William and Barry Smith of Clayton, North Carolina, brothers, Donald Bryant and David Bryant of Ballston Spa NY and James Bryant of Galway NY. Mary was blessed with many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
This world has lost a special person. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer's Association. Mary cherished her time spent with her friends and family. Raise a glass, share a story, and remember the many laughs with Mary ("Mom").
