Mary Morrell Obituary
August 23, 1937 - October 20, 2025
Mary (Palma) Morrell– August 23, 1937-October 20, 2025- died peacefully after a lengthy dementia diagnosis.
Born and raised in Mamaronek, NY, Mary met her late husband Donald while in High School. They married shortly thereafter in 1958 and started their family in Greenwich, CT in 1959. Mary loved her three children, four grandchildren, and two great grand children immeasurably. She proudly shared their accomplishments to all who would listen and enjoyed every moment she got to spend with them. The feeling was mutual. Mary had a deep, foundational faith in God that guided her kind soul. She was a dedicated parishioner at Sacred Heart Church in Greenwich, CT for many years and rejoiced in hearing her grandchildren say Grace before the holiday meals she hosted. She was an excellent cook and avid baker- a skill she passed down to her children who intend to use her preferred recipes for years to come.
Mary was a trusted long term employee at Tierney & Whelan Law Firm, a voracious shopper, and later in life, an active traveller. Though she and Don enjoyed many vacations and cruises together, her favorite trip was to Italy.
Mary was predeceased by her husband Donald G Morrell and her sister Rose Soper. She is survived by her children Donna Morrell Bourn (Tommy Sullivan), Craig Morrell, and Kurt Morrell (Maria Morrell), her grandchildren Jessica Blechner, Chelsea Bourn, Kyle Morrell, and Connor Morrell, and two great grandchildren Bo and Benjamin Blechner. The family is grateful to River House Adult Day Center in Greenwich and Crescent Point in Niantic who provided essential and compassionate support during their hardest times.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday 10/24 at 11am at Sacred Heart Church in Greenwich. Burial to follow at St Mary's Cemetery in Greenwich.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to River House Adult Day Center in Mary's honor.

So sorry for your loss. I remember your Mother during church services and during our days walking to Byrum School. She always had a wonderful smile and a nice word to say about everything. She will be missed and prayers out to you and all of your family. Time will heal and you will remember all of the great memories had.
Be well, Phil "Pit" Pitney
