Mary Theresa Hurley

Mary Theresa Hurley, 91, of Woodbridge, formerly of Manchester for almost 50 years, died Sunday, (October 16, 2011) in Woodbridge. Born in Hartford, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine (Farr) Deyorio. Mary was a graduate of Bay Path College in Longmeadow, MA. She was a communicant of St. Bridget's Church in Manchester, where she also worked as a secretary. She then was employed as a secretary for the State of Connecticut Judicial Department in the Superior Court for more than 25 years retiring in 1989. Mary was independent, loved to play bridge, was socially active and enjoyed traveling with her friends. She never stopped providing motherly advice, even later in life.
