Mary-Ellen "Mim" Comeau

Well, that's Mimi...always a step ahead of the rest of us. She's still very much alive to me: so cheery, so funny, so thoughtful. I remember when she chose what I believe was a Confirmation name, Joelle, and how much consideration she put into this choice. I wish I could show her the two-page essay I wrote in support of my own Catholic Confirmation name. Her love of ballet was infectious, of math...not so much. Hope to dance with you, Mims, in the not-too-distant future. Best wishes from Ellin-Jehanne

Dear Jim, Olivia and all or Mim's family, I am so sad reading this. It makes me think of the years our kids grew up together and how we enjoyed each other's company. Mim was a wonderful neighbor. Prayers that you get through this sad time.

A celebration of Mim's life will be held Sat Sept 23rd from 11-4 at our home in Salem. Please message Liv or Jim if you need the address. Causal dress, light refreshments, self-screen for covid, and bring photos of Mim!

We are so sorry to hear of Mim´s passing. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Liv and Jim. The girl´s travel basketball days together were the best. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known Mim!
Sending our love - Wayne, Joyce, Kara & Kendall

Mary Ellen and I worked at Marshalls in Swampscott many years ago during high school and college. We were part of a large group of friends/co-workers. I will always have great memories of those years. She was a wonderful person. My condolences to her entire family.

I am so sorry for your great loss! I was contacted today about Mimi's passing. She was one of my best friends at Pingree and we lost touch because, back in 1976, when we graduated, we didn't have computers and cell phones. She lived her life the way I knew her in HS, full of activity, fun, great at anything she undertook, always smiling.....a truly good soul. I wish I had contacted her again. I'm so sad to know she struggled with ALS and has passed. An unbelievable loss!

I am so sorry to hear this. We were classmates in high school and she went by "Mimi" back then. She was indeed the best student in our class but had a great sense of humor and was just an all-around good kid. I remember our lunch table with Monsieur LeFlem and many classes together. She never did after school sports with us as her Mom picked her up to go to ballet classes. My condolences to her husband Jim and daughter Liv - you've lost her way too soon.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. May you take comfort knowing that she touched the lives of so many people. I was blessed to be her student for two years and she taught me lessons that go beyond chemistry and physics. She will forever be one of my favorite teachers.

Jim, I am so sad to hear of your family's loss. Thank you for the lovely stories of her life. I will keep Mim in my thoughts.

Mim tutored me in biology when we worked together at Marshalls and helped me get thru the course and graduate at Northeastern University. She was such a great friend and we met up again when her daughter played in my Youth basketball league in Salem. She will be missed.

Mary Ellen was my tutor all through out high school. She was not only my tutor but someone I admired and sought comfort in. In addition to helping me through math, physics, and chemistry Mary Ellen gave me life long advice that I will hold close to my heart. Mary Ellen was an amazing woman that will be missed greatly

My condolences to you, Liv, your Dad, and the rest of your family. I will never forget her support, dedication, and especially her enthusiasm at all the MCCPS basketball games!

In loving memory of a wonderful, generous, genuine person. She was a talented and inspiring educator (my physics teacher at Fenwick, 1985-6), and she made abstract concepts fun and fascinating. Most importantly, she showed great kindness and respect toward all. Our thoughts are with her family.

Jim , Marilyn and I are so sorry for your loss.
Mim was a wonderful woman and a fabulous teacher. She
gave us so many happy memories. God Bless .
