Mary McLoughlin Breault

WORCESTER - Mary (McLoughlin) Breault, 65, of Worcester, Massachusetts passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 28th, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

Born on February 20, 1960, in Worcester, Mary was the youngest of five children to Catherine and John McLoughlin. She graduated from Boston College with a degree in social work and dedicated her professional career to helping children and families who had experienced trauma. Over the years, she worked with the Department of Children and Families, in school systems, with various agencies, and in private practice - always with the same unwavering compassion and belief that every child deserved to be seen, heard, and loved.

She married her beloved husband, Richard Breault, and together they built a life defined by devotion, resilience, and deep, abiding love. Their marriage, marked by both challenges and joys, was a partnership rooted in mutual respect and care - a love story that will endure beyond this lifetime.

A loving mother to Emma (Breault) Logan and Maggie Breault, Mary raised her daughters with patience, strength, and a fierce commitment to family. Her role as "Grammie" to her grandchildren - Robbie, Miriam, and Sophia Logan - was one of the greatest joys of her life. She created unique, special bonds with each of them, filling their lives with warmth, guidance, and unconditional love.

Mary is survived by her husband, Richard; her daughters, Emma and Maggie; her son-in-law Robert Logan, and her cherished grandchildren, Robbie, Miriam, and Sophia. She was predeceased by her parents, Catherine and John McLoughlin.

Her legacy is one of love, service, and steadfast devotion to those she cared for - both personally and professionally. She will be remembered for her strength, her big heart, her late-night talks, and her ability to make everyone feel seen.
