Mary Meehan CARNEVALE

CARNEVALE, Mary Meehan Age 66, of Londonderry, NH, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and educator, died on October 24, 2025, at her Londonderry home, surrounded by her loving family and friends. She is survived by her husband James T. Carnevale and their children. Born October 3, 1959, in Lowell, she was the daughter of the late Martin T. Meehan and Alice (Britton) Meehan.

Mary was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in March 2025."Mary's life was guided by faith, hope and love. As tumor progression took away everything she had, it could not take who she was. Mary's prayers increasingly focused on peace for her loved ones, neighbors, friends, faithful clergy and all of her family. In praying peace for those she loved, Mary was in turn blessed with more than 200 days of peace," her husband, James Carnevale said.

Mary was devoted to her family and to the students she had the pleasure of teaching during her years as an educator. Her career in education included teaching appointments at the

Immaculate Conception School and St. Patrick's School, both in Lowell, and at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsboro. Mary earned a Master's degree in education in Curriculum and Instruction, cum laude, from UMass Lowell and held a B.S. from the University of Lowell in Law and Justice, with a Minor in Psychology. She also was a certified paralegal.

Throughout her life, Mary demonstrated a commitment to education and to the well-being of her students. She was a valued member of professional organizations, affiliated with the Archdiocese of Boston and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. She was a member of the Phi Lambda Theta honor society.

Mary's proudest professional achievement was being credited by her former students for helping them develop a lifetime love of learning and serving as their north star through their formative years. Loyal to her friends and generous with her time for those in need, Mary was active in the Archdiocese of Boston's Clergy Sexual Abuse Survivor Community.

Mary loved the beach, hiking, fine dining and family outings. She loved being involved in holiday celebrations and activities with her children and grandchildren.
