Mary Louise Barry

Born in Rochester, NY, on Feb. 15, 1932, she is the daughter of John and Agnes Atkinson. She was raised in Rochester, NY, and married her husband, Eugene Richard Barry on May 23, 1953.

Mrs. Barry was employed outside the home prior to starting a family, and then stayed home to raise her children. She was later employed by Home Federal Savings and Loan in Canandaigua.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by three sons and their spouses, David R. Barry and his wife Nancy, of Lexington Park, Md.; James F. Barry and his wife Sheryl, of Goshen, NY; and Kevin M. Barry and his wife Mary Jane, of Canandaigua, NY. She is also survived by six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Also surviving are sister Helen Decker, of Tampa, FL; and brother William Atkinson and his wife Patricia, of Syracuse, NY, plus many loving nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her siblings Frances Atkinson, Winifred Mart, Robert Atkinson, Jane Waringa and an infant sister, Patricia Ann Atkinson.

Mrs. Barry was a devoted wife and mother. She loved camping and any travel, particularly ocean cruises. Her favorite place to be was anywhere with her family. In her free time she enjoyed BINGO and had a dream of winning the lottery jackpot, only to share it with all of her children and grandchildren. In her younger days, she enjoyed swimming. After retiring to Barefoot Bay, Florida in 1987, she became involved in various craft groups, and was active in the Upstate New York Group. When she could no longer travel, she kept up with family and friends through facebook and looked forward to seeing new pictures of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She has always been a devout Catholic and was a very active volunteer at St. Mary’s in Canandaigua and has attended St. Luke’s in Micco, FL since her arrival in Barefoot Bay.
