TOPSHAM
– Mary Ann (Dockry) Harty passed away peacefully at home with her loving
husband of 61 years, Tom, sons, Thomas (Lia) and Patrick (Marcia) and daughter
Meghan (Bill) Costa by her side. Mary Ann was born and raised in Green
Bay Wisconsin, daughter of Patrick and Genevieve (Doyle) Dockry. She was
a graduate of Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, where she earned a degree in
primary education. Her married years were spent in Milwaukee WI, Chatham
NJ, Guilford CT, and Richmond VA prior to moving to Topsham in 2004.
The
pleasure of living in a variety of places enhanced her enjoyment of life
itself. She savored the outdoors – gardening, bee keeping, walking and time
spent at the beach. When not outdoors, she devoted her time to music,
knitting, cross stitching and other crafts. Yet Mary Ann’s love of
family, teaching and children remained paramount. She continued to be
involved with activities that satisfied her inner desire to help others while
sharing her smile. Mary Ann is survived by her husband, sons, daughter, four
grandchildren, brothers Patrick (Rita), Michael (Eleanor), Dennis (Bonnie), and
many cherished nieces and nephews.
