MARY KEEGAN SHIA

We were so saddened to learn of Mary´s death! Mary was so welcoming to our family when we moved next door to her family in that special neighborhood on Windsor Road in Brookline. We watched each others´ children grow up, and were always welcome in her family´s rambling Victorian. Our hearts go out to Wei-Lee, Mitchell, Derek, Aisling and Mary´s siblings. May her memory be a blessing. Susan and Julian Houston

Sending warmth to you,Tony and Sheila.

I am shocked. I just emerged out of my pandemic bubble to hear this sad news. My deepest condolences to Mary's large, loving family. Mary was my boss at MassBay and one of the most earnest and heartfelt people I knew. As others have said, she always cared for those in need, especially students. She was a woman of peace, but if someone needed an advocate, she'd make 'good trouble' for them. She supported me in my career at MassBay. I thought we'd have time to catch up after I left there, for...

Mary was a joy to work with at MassBay. She was my go to person for students in tough circumstances. She made solutions happen quickly. Many students adored her and appreciated everything she did for them. Many more benefited from her work, even if they didn't know it. I have fond memories of visiting her office and chatting about favorite Irish and British treats. She left a hole when she had to retire due to her health and will continue to be missed.

Mary was a treasure. She was my friend and the one I went to for advice. I'll always be thankful to her. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Deepest sympathy on your loss; I worked with Mary at the GSD and ever found her warm and wise.

Sending our deepest sympathies and condolences to Antoinette, Tony, Sheila and all the family on your great loss. Thinking of you. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis ...

Your whole family has my deepest sympathy. I knew Mary from an old Weight Watchers meeting and man she was always the cheeriest person. She always chatted me up and made everyone giggle. I will miss her and I'm sending all of the love tenuous entire family. God bless.

Many happy memories of time spent with Mary (in Kildare) and later in Dublin where we reconnected as young, single adults. May she rest in peace.
