Mary L. Flynn

Mary L Flynn, 74 of Peabody, MA passed on February 11 2020 at the home of her sister and brother-in law, Jane and Paul Benson, after an intermittent courageous battle with cancer for the past 25 years. She was the loving wife and soulmate of the late Errol R. Flynn, with whom she shared many special moments photographing wildlife and nature.

Mary was the daughter of the late John and Louise Arathuzik. She was raised and educated in Peabody, later living in Tucson, AZ and Jay, ME. She worked at various banks in Peabody and Tucson, retiring from V.I.P., INC of Auburn, ME due to her illness.

She was an avid book reader and made wonderful cross stitch projects. She will be dearly missed.
