Mary L Kennedy

Mary Louise Kennedy, born March 16, 1945, was called home to the Lord on Sunday, November 23, 2025, passing peacefully in her home. She is reunited in eternal life with her beloved spouse, Thomas D’Antico, who passed away in 2019. Together, they shared many years of love, companionship, and quiet moments that meant everything. She was predeceased, her parents Laurence and Dorothy Kennedy of Holyoke, MA, and her sister Nano Sudyka.

Mary spent over 58 years of her life in Westbrook, Connecticut, where she built a home filled with warmth and the irresistible scent of something sweet baking in the oven.

Mary was the proud mother of her five children: Kerrie Palumbo, Michael (Katie) Palumbo, Christopher Palumbo, Joel (Michelle) Palumbo, and Maura (Moshe) Natanzon. She was a devoted grandmother to Nicholas, Olivia, Natalie, Nathan, Grace and her step-grandchildren, Katrice, Julia, and Claire Angier, who all brought her boundless joy and affection. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

Mary was a proud graduate of Our Lady of Elms College; she treasured her education and the lifelong friendships she found there. She was highly creative with sewing, painting, and baking her way into the hearts of everyone around her. Her holiday desserts were legendary in the family, with dark chocolate always at the center. She was a devoted reader, rarely seen without a book in hand. She made countless visits to the Westbrook Public Library and read everything on its shelves. Mary leaves behind a legacy of resilience, generosity, and unwavering love. She will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, December 4th from 5pm-7pm at the Robinson, Wright & Weymer Funeral Home, 34 Main Street, Centerbrook, CT. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on December 5th at 11:00 a.m. at Saint Mark’s Church in Westbrook, CT.

In keeping with Mary’s spirit, donations in lieu of flowers may be made to your Local Library.
