Mary Rathbun Obituary
She attended Lee schools where she was very active in everything she could! Her secretary skills were amazing, she played piano, and was captain of the cheerleading squad! The majority of her adult life was spent in Tyringham, housekeeping for several families near her. Before her late husband, Ozzie, passed away they lived together at Brown Memorial in Lee. Mary had a zest for life and always made people laugh with her lovable and promiscuous humor. Her laughter was contagious!! She will be greatly missed.
She leaves behind her son, Kris Herlihy, siblings: Mark Withers (Rhoda), Vinton Withers, Glenn Withers (Sally), Kathy Withers (Lloyd), Debra Griffin, Matthew Withers (Michelle) and Stephen Withers (Nikki). Also a special Thank you to her very close and loving friend Scott Hamilton.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her 3 sons: MIchael J. Herlihy, Jeffrey W. Herlihy, and Kenneth J. Herlihy.
Per Mary's request there will be no calling hours or funeral. The family will be scheduling a graveside burial at a later date.
