Mary was predeceased by her 2 sons; George Hathaway, Jr. and Scott Meskun; 3 sisters, Patricia, Nancy and Phyllis and her son-in-law, Earl “Bix” Avery.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Southington Care Center for going above and beyond in their care for Mary.

Mary enjoyed spending time with her niece Dawn DeSantis and husband Claudio Mancini, including visiting with their rescue dogs. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Dawn’s rescue, Spotty Dog Rescue (spottydogrescue.org).

A celebration of Mary’s life will be held privately. Plantsville Funeral Home has been entrusted with handling the arrangements. For online condolences, please visit www.plantsvillefuneralhome.com.
