MARY VERONICA TOOMEY

TOOMEY, Mary Veronica Of West Roxbury, formerly of Brighton, passed on October 13, 2025, after an all-too-brief battle with pancreatic cancer. Predeceased by her father, Joseph and her mother, Gertrude (Donovan) Toomey. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her family: sisters, Kathleen Toomey, Joanne Toomey, and Patricia Norton (Michael) of West Roxbury; and brother, Joseph Toomey (Anne) of Belmont; nephews, Michael (Brenda), Joseph (Jennifer) and Edward (Rachel) Norton; Matthew, Joseph (Orla) and Kevin (Lila) Toomey; and niece, Mary (Marty) Murphy. Also survived and dearly loved by sixteen grandnieces and grandnephews. Mary's enduring qualities were her generous giving to others and her encouragement and support of those less fortunate. She always rooted for the underdogs in life. Mary loved nothing better than hosting family gatherings at her homes in West Roxbury and Marshfield and lavishing us all with her love. Mary was a graduate of Saint Columbkille High School and Thomas Aquinas Secretarial School. She was a longtime principal of the John J. Ryan Insurance Agency in Brighton, where she will be lovingly remembered by many Brighton families for her compassionate and professional work ethic. May she rest in eternal peace and may her gentle spirit live on in our hearts. Visiting Hours at the William J.
