MARION KEEN Obituary

KEEN, Marion F. Age 91, lived a life defined by love, faith, and family. Born on September 27, 1933 into a large family in Dorchester, she embraced her roles as daughter, sister, cousin, and aunt with devotion and joy. She cherished her many nieces and nephews, staying closely connected with each of them throughout her life and taking great interest in their lives and accomplishments. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life. A devout Catholic and devoted parishioner of St. Paul's and the Church of the Resurrection in Hingham, Marion was deeply engaged in her church community. Her days were guided by service, prayer, and kindness, leaving an example of faith lived fully and authentically. Marion dedicated much of her career to elder services, where she enriched the lives of seniors through recreational programs and companionship. Beyond her work and faith, she was an adventurer at heart. She traveled widely, often alongside the Catholic Alumni Club and delighted in sharing her journeys through postcards and stories. Marion will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her boundless curiosity, and her unwavering love for the people in her life.  Loving daughter of the late William E. and Helen L. Keen. Cherished sister of the late William J. Keen, Marie Griffin, Louise Laurenti, Clare Turley, Robert T. Keen, and Thomas J. Keen. Survived by many dear nieces and nephews.  Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to greet the family during the Visiting Hours on Saturday, September 20, 2025 from 9-10 AM, in the Church of the Resurrection, 1057 Main St., Hingham, followed by the Funeral Mass, at 10 AM.

Yesterday

How sad I was to learn of Marion's passing. Marion and I went to Archbishop Cushing Central High where out friendship continued from St. Mark's Parish. Our friendship lasted through the years. Marion will be sorely missed by all who knew her. My sincerest sympathy to her family.
