Margaret Mary 'Mary' Grumbine died of natural causes in her home in Washington, DC, on the night of October 18, 2025, aged 79.
As a lawyer, she earned some 'firsts', including first woman to be city attorney in Boulder, Colorado and first woman to be a regional counsel in Customs. She was a lover of the arts and proudly said that her online presence was more notable for poetry she'd written than cases she had won. She was also an avid dancer, pianist, and golden retriever parent.
Mary is survived by her nieces Elizabeth and Susan, and nephew Robert.
The funeral will be 10 AM Wednesday, November 5th, at St. Bartholomew's, Cape Elizabeth. A. T. Hutchins funeral home.
