Martina May Benoit

To all of our beloved Benoits,

We all loved Marty so much. She was a wonderful aunt, mother, wife, sister, grandmother and friend. When I was a little girl I wanted to grow up and be just like her. She was so funny, kind, loving. All of her family helped create the inspirational woman that she was. She will always hold a special place in my heart. She always made me feel loved.
Love, Mary Gill Devers and family

I first met the Benoit family through the many pictures and stories shared by Cheryl when I first met her in 1967 at Marymount University. We immediately became friends and shared her family while we were at school for the next two years. Since then, I have met and visited with her beloved Mother and Father many times as well as all her brothers and sisters. My memories are full and continue to this day. I am also happy that my husband, Jim, was able to meet Mrs. Benoit (I will never be able...

I have been spending my summers in Rockport since I was born. My parents, Dr. Tom O'Leary and Dr. Helen O'Leary were friends of Marty and George so I grew up spending my summers with the whole family. Even though we have all gone our separate ways since, I continued to see Marty because every summer when she would come back to Rockport, on her walks she would stop by my house to say hi and catch up. I will truly miss her annual visits but my memories of her and her family will always remain...

We are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing.

I am a college friend of Chery's.Because
of our 30+ year friendship I have spent time with your mom and dad. We had great times in Rockport and so enjoyed your moms humor and hospitality. Your mom really enjoyed people, her family and had a great zest for life. You all will have great memories. Larry and I so happy we had time to know your mom.

Aunt Marty was a comfort and support to her California nieces and their families. She offered a willing ear and a warm smile, a shoulder to cry on, a sly grin and hearty laugh when needed. Her sense of family was an inspiration and her stories of her Boston childhood were often funny, sometimes sad, and always enlightening. Whether sitting together or at opposite ends of a cross-country phone line, I could count on Aunt Marty to brighten my day with a bit of her kindness. Thank you Benoits...

Happy Birthday Momma! You were a gift to this world... and I will miss you always. I thank the Lord that I was home to see you over the holidays, it was bittersweet as we laughed and cried... I love you my sweet mother. What a wonderful example of human kindness you were, I've been so blessed to be your daughter. I'm thankful to have had you all these years.
All my love,
Beth

Dear George and Family,
With sadness I send condolence and prayers to each one of you in the loss of your beautiful Martina. She was one of the kindest, most caring people I have been blessed to have known during the seven years working in the Dedham office. Her warm-heart, happiness and humor radiated to those around her. A wonderful role model for me, admiring her as a mother, wife and friend. She cherished all.
At this sad time, I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May...

Uncle George and Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I have very fond memories of many summers spent with the Benoits in Rockport. We will all miss her very much!
Love,
Richard, Patty landi & family
