Mary Mullaney Obituary

Mullaney, Mary A. "Pink" If you're about to throw away an old pair of pantyhose, stop. Consider: Mary Agnes Mullaney (you probably knew her as "Pink") who entered eternal life on Sunday, September 1, 2013. Her spirit is carried on by her six children, 17 grandchildren, three surviving siblings in New "Joisey", and an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Pink during her 85 years, among them: Never throw away old pantyhose. Use the old ones to tie gutters, child-proof cabinets, tie toilet flappers, or hang Christmas ornaments. Also: If a possum takes up residence in your shed, grab a barbecue brush to coax him out. If he doesn't leave, brush him for twenty minutes and let him stay. Let a dog (or two or three) share your bed. Say the rosary while you walk them. Go to church with a chicken sandwich in your purse. Cry at the consecration, every time. Give the chicken sandwich to your homeless friend after mass. Go to a nursing home and kiss everyone. When you learn someone's name, share their patron saint's story, and their feast day, so they can celebrate. Invite new friends to Thanksgiving dinner. If they are from another country and you have trouble understanding them, learn to "listen with an accent." Never say mean things about anybody; they are "poor souls to pray for." Put picky-eating children in the box at the bottom of the laundry chute, tell them they are hungry lions in a cage, and feed them veggies through the slats. Correspond with the imprisoned and have lunch with the cognitively challenged. Do the Jumble every morning. Keep the car keys under the front seat so they don't get lost. Make the car dance by lightly tapping the brakes to the beat of songs on the radio. Offer rides to people carrying a big load or caught in the rain or summer heat. Believe the hitchhiker you pick up who says he is a landscaper and his name is "Peat Moss." Help anyone struggling to get their kids into a car or shopping cart or across a parking lot. Give to every charity that asks. Choose to believe the best about what they do with your money, no matter what your children say they discovered online. Allow the homeless to keep warm in your car while you are at Mass. Take magazines you've already read to your doctors' office for others to enjoy. Do not tear off the mailing label, "Because if someone wants to contact me, that would be nice." In her lifetime, Pink made contact time after time. Those who've taken her lessons to heart will continue to ensure that a cold drink will be left for the overheated garbage collector and mail carrier, every baby will be kissed, every nursing home resident will be visited, the hungry will have a sandwich, the guest will have a warm bed and soft nightlight, and the encroaching possum will know the soothing sensation of a barbecue brush upon its back. Above all, Pink wrote - to everyone, about everything. You may read this and recall a letter from her that touched your heart, tickled your funny bone, or maybe made you say "huh?" She is survived by her children and grandchildren whose photos she would share with prospective friends in the checkout line: Tim (wife Janice, children Timmy, Joey, T.J., Miki and Danny); Kevin (wife Kathy, children Kacey, Ryan, Jordan and Kevin); Jerry (wife Gita, children Nisha and Cathan); MaryAnne; Peter (wife Maria Jose, children Rodrigo and Paulo); and Meg (husband David Vartanian, children Peter, Lily, Jerry and Blase); siblings Anne, Helen, and Robert; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family too numerous to list but not forgotten. Pink is reunited with her husband and favorite dance and political debate partner, Dr. Gerald L. Mullaney, and is predeceased by six siblings. Friends (and strangers she would love to have met) can visit with Pink's family at the Feerick Funeral Home on Thursday, September 5, from 3 until 7 PM with prayer service at 6:45 PM. Mass of the Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Monica's Catholic Church in Whitefish Bay on Friday, September 6, at 3 PM. Dress comfortably with a splash of pink if you have it. In Pink's memory donations may be made to Dominican High School, 120 E. Silver Spring Dr., Whitefish Bay, WI 53217, or Saint Monica Parish, 160 E. Silver Spring Dr., Whitefish Bay, WI 53217, or any charity that seeks to spread the Good News of Pink's friend, Jesus. Valet Parking in front of the funeral home on Thursday.

Well Pink, and family - I too came across this amazing, heartfelt and witty obituary while searching "how to write a great obituary" and this has to be one of the best ever written. I hope I can come up with something half as good. I too wish I'd had the opportunity to cross paths with you, but because your family brought you so vividly back to life in this stunning picture of you, I feel like I know you! God hold you and keep you and your family!

This is my Aunt Pink who got her name from her Mom (my Grandma) who, when she first laid eyes on her at the hospital exclaimed "look at my beautiful pink baby!" There was ten children in the family, not including a neighbor´s son, who Grandma Rogers took in after his mother died and the Dad needed to work. Pink´s sisters included Aunt Sis (Margaret), Aunt "Pretty Anne", (she jokingly made us all call her that", along with Aunt Helen (Pretty Anne tried to get us to call her Aunt "Homely Helen"). LOL! They were best friends their entire lives. There´s so many stories! I have many siblings and cousins who, as the saying goes, "the apple doesn´t fall far from the tree".

What an inspiration Pink brought to my day! Upon feeling under the weather, I decided to browse the internet and stumbled upon the obituary. I wish Pink was my relative, friend or neighbor. I know no one is perfect but being positive, generous and understanding goes a very long way. I'm TEAM PINK all the way. May your family be blessed with the wonderful memories you obviously created daily. Ironically all who knows me, knows my favorite color is PINK!!

What a blessing to have family love you so much to make your final story this special. You did an amazing job. I feel as if I know her myself. Thank you for sharing a little bit of the beauty that was "Pink". God bless all of you

Jerry and Peter! Your mom's obit is listed in an article about how to write one. Since I've been editing my obit after a teensy heart incident, I read these articles! When the news of your mom's passing first appeared, two friends from other parts of the country had seen it and sent it to me because of the Milwaukee connection. They were surprised to learn I'd met Pink. You can add to her great qualities was that she was always concerned that you "boys" were eating right!
Love seeing you're married and have families!

I have never met this lady but I just brought my 86 year old grandmother home from the hospital yesterday so that she could be with her son who is in the last stages of pancreatic cancer. Needless to say, I needed an angel. Thank you for sending one to a small town in New Mexico

She was always doing God's work, what a Saint, she will be greatly missed and greatly remembered.

Dear Mullaney Family,

I didn't know Pink and I don't know any of you but I am so inspired by Pink's story. My Mom died on 12/6/13 and I think that she and Pink must be twins separated at birth. They even both did the Jumble every morning! I am so sorry for your loss but I am so thrilled that Mom has a twin up in heaven to say the rosary with. My Mom was pretty good with possums too. :) I hope you are doing well. I know (from reading about Pink) that you have wonderful memories. I hope that brings you peace.

Jane Bailey

Pink is indeed a wonderful person, I wish I had met her. My own wonderful person died much too young, at the age of 62 years young. My mother never met a person she couldn't find good in, She used to say "There's a little bit of good in the worse of us and a little bit of bad in the best of us. My momma looked for the best and always found it. She had 6 children after the age of 35 and raised them all. She instilled in all a conscience, both by her teaching and her actions. She always said you have to teach small children about God who then becomes their conscience and reminds them of right and wrong when they need it. I am 70 and even today her gentle teachings guide me. She was the best cook in the world and people would come for miles for her lemon meringue pie. She loved people and her family dearly and grieved when they grieved, and laughed when they laughed. She went around singing all the time, even though she had crippling arthritis, diabetes and heart problems, She never, ever complained and worked tirelessly from dawn to dusk for her family. There is no way I can express how much she meant to us and others, evidently the same as this marvelous lady Pink. God bless them and I'm sure they have become friends in heaven above. Thank you Pink for your beautiful life.

What heart warming obituary. It brought smiles to my face and things to think about. Isn't it nice that by writing her obituary you helped her to continue her life's lessons after she has left this earth and joined Our Blessed Mother and Jesus, Our Lord. I am so happy to have come across this on the 11th Anniversary of my own Mother Mary's passing. I am sure they have met by now and are smiling down on us. Thank you for sharing. She was a beautiful woman as was my mom. May your faith in God help you through this sorrowful time. Know that she is there with you all in Spirit; it's wonderful as she is always there when you need her. Godspeed

After reading many of the messages that have been left. I noticed that the majority of them are from people that she touched but never meet. The old saying is "How many people will you touch in your lifetime but for Pink look at all the people she has touched she went to be with the Lord. I am glad someone sent this to me so she could touch my life.
