Mary Boyle, nee Finney, passed away Sunday, November 23rd at the age of 93 years, 8 months and 11 days. Aunt Mary was my grandfather’s sister-in-law and an important part of our family for over 75 years. Mary had an indomitable, fiery spirit and a contagious laugh. She loved family gatherings, and needed no coaxing to get up and sing 'McNamara’s Band'--- all she needed was a cane and a hat. She spent her last two years in Holy Family Nursing Home in Des Plaines. Aunt Mary was born in Knockfenora Bruree, Co. Limerick, Ireland, and is survived by nine children: Donny, Jerry, Dennis, Kathleen, Martin, Patrick, Neal, Ellen and Joe. Her funeral mass will be at St. Stephen Church in Des Plaines, followed by internment at Mary Queen of Heaven Cemetery.
May God rest her soul; she was a good woman who lived a wonderful life.
