Mary Ellen was born in Whitman.  Mary Ellen and her family summered in Manomet. She loved going to the beach, and spending time at the ocean. She was an avid sports fan: Red Sox, Celtics and The New England Patriots. She enjoyed winning at bingo and would always go with her relatives and friends. Her lucky Irish streak continued when she picked the winner of the Kentucky Derby by her bedside! She enthusiastically supported and would follow all of her grandchildren’s sporting events and interests. Her final years was spent at Queen Anne Nursing Home in Hingham, where she formed many friendships with not only residents but with many dedicated employees.  “Cardinals appear when angles are near.”
