As a little girl I grew up knowing Mary Ronan as one of dad's friends who would come visit my family on the cape in the summer. Mary would bring presents for my younger sister and I, she'd always welcome us with a warm hug and want to hear how school and our social lives were (and she was actually genuinely interested). My sister and I would hear snippets of our parents conversations with Mary while we ran around the yard, ran back from the ocean and helped serve dinner on summer nights when she visited. She fit in so well, and we were comfortable around her even as kids. My sister and I always enjoyed when she'd visit, but It wasn't until I got older that I realized what a truly unique and special person Mary was... In my entire life I only know a few people as truly generous, kindhearted, strong, and selfless as Mary. She treated my sister and I like her own grand children. She was non judgmental, truly curious about our lives, and really wanted the best for us. We weren't related, we didn't see each other every month so to care so much about us says a lot about her. As an adult, I see Mary as a role model- a strong woman. I have always had a place for Mary in my heart, especially after my father died (her innate loving warmth reminded me of his). She will be sorely missed by the O'Shea/ Curry family. And I want the Stack family to know that she meant so much to us. Love to all of you! - Julia O'Shea (daughter of the late Robert O'Shea).
