Mary Buhl Obituary

Mary Theresa Buhl (Harris), beloved mother of four children, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2025. Born in Baltimore on November 16, 1942 to Lawrence and Ellen Harris, she treasured her family and spending time with her grandchildren. Terry spent countless hours committed to her church, from ironing alter linens to being a eucharistic minister and everything in between. She also loved to make people laugh. When Terry laughed, which was often, you could hear her down the hall. She is survived by her children, Paul Jeffrey Sears, Laurie Sears Deppa, Julie Lawson and Heather Boynton and grandchildren Maddy, Connor, Ellie, Monica, James, Robert, Bradley, Josh, Carter and Morgan and one great grandchild Linden. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Thomas Buhl. There will be a Celebration of Life, held in Ellicott City on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 3pm. Please reach out to her children for information.
