Born in Philadelphia, Mary resided in Levittown, Langhorne, and Tylersport, PA, before spending her final years in the loving care of the staff at Ciel in Princeton, NJ.
Mary graduated from Bishop Conwell High School in 1970 and earned her degree from Penn State. She dedicated her career as a paralegal, serving various attorneys in Bucks County, and eventually completed her career at Toll Brothers.
Mary cherished the summers spent “down the shore,” where she could often be found poolside, engrossed in a good book. She had a special bond with her best friend of over 60 years, Rose, with whom she enjoyed playing cards and shopping.
Mary had a passion for music, particularly the melodies of Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, and Barbra Streisand. Halloween held a special place in her heart, and she will always be remembered for her fantastic costume parties. Additionally, Mary took great joy in watching her grandsons race Quarter-midgets.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dorothy Rita (Brown) and John Thomas “Jack” McConville, and her life partner, Stephen Alan Wagner.
Mary is survived by her loving daughter, Cheryl Ann Chamberlain (Paul Mogensen) of Levittown, and her two beloved grandsons, John Thomas “Jack” and Patrick Ryan Devine.
