Obituary for Mary R. Fahy
Mary R. Fahy, age 86 of Vernon, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 7th, 2022, with her loving family by her side.
Born in New York, NY, to the late James and Anne (McMahon) Cassidy, Mary moved from NYC to Wayne, then Ringwood,where she raised her seven children; her pride, her joy, her life.
Parishioner of St. Catherine of Bologna RC Church, involved in PTA and any and all organizations that came with raising seven active children. Mary never missed a football game, cheerleading competition, or soccer game.
Mary settled in Sussex County in the 1990's to be near her children and grandchildren. A dedicated volunteer, she contributed countless hours to St. Clare's Hospital, Sussex, Meals on Wheels, and the Sussex Food Pantry, to name a few. She was a parishioner at St. Monica's RC Church in Sussex before moving to Vernon and joining St. Francis de Sales RC Church ten years ago.
In Mary's leisure time, she enjoyed quilting, puzzles, and long walks on the beach at the Jersey Shore and NSB, Florida collecting shells. Mary's sense of humor and caring nature for others will be missed most of all.
