Mary O'Connell Obituary
Mary Ann was a devoted grandmother who found endless happiness in spending time with her grandchildren, Eryn Lanigan, Tristan O'Connell, Erik Lanigan, Rooney and Mac Barker, Wednesday and Jack Bartuzik. Her witty humor, warmth and nurturing nature created a lifetime of memories that will be treasured by all who knew her.
In addition to an unmatched love for her family, Mary Ann shared a special bond with her husband, Mike O'Connell; inseparable, they did everything together. They enjoyed motorcycle rides and exploring the open road. The life they made was filled with joy as they created unforgettable experiences side by side.
Mary Ann is survived by her loving husband, Mike; her children, Joe (Jen) O'Connell, Kristen (Chris) Barker, and Erin (Jesse) Bartuzik; and her beloved grandchildren. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, William and Rosemary Conway, and her brother, Jim Conway. There aren't words sufficient to express how deeply missed she will be by her family and friends, who will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
Rest in peace, Mary. Your love and light will forever shine in our hearts.

I worked with her at Centier bank for 16 years and we laughed every day. Loved to hear all her stories about her family.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Mary was always so kind, always had a smile and time to chat. She is a part of many of my memories as a fellow Lowellian, a player AND a coach. My deepest condolences to all of you. You are in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.

What a wonderful person. We only had the chance to know her for a couple of years watching ourdaughter and her granddaughters play softball and run track together. There will be a giant void at those events but she will now be able to watch everything from the best seat. God bless her wonderful family.
