Quote:Mary O'Brien (31), beloved wife of Timothy O’Brien and mother to three young children, passed away on September 17th. Mary lived out every day the Gospel of love of God and neighbor in her selfless and wholehearted dedication to her family and each and every person she met. To be in Mary’s presence was to be in the presence of someone whose whole life was a joy. And she never failed to share that joy, be it through a kind word, a helping hand, or her happy smile.

Married since 2018, Timothy and Mary had recently relocated their family from Connecticut to rural New Hampshire in August 2023. Just weeks after moving into their new home, Mary suffered a sudden and catastrophic stroke on September 14th. She was airlifted to Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston, where she received treatment in the following days. Timothy never left her side in those hours until her passing from this world to the next, ensuring that she received the Last Rites and abiding by her to the end.

We ask that you lend support to the O'Brien family in this time of tragedy. Your aid will assist in payment of the extensive medical bills and ensure support for their children—Timothy (3), Jehanne (2), and Louise (10 months).

Mary set a beautiful example of storing up treasure in heaven; in death as in life, she is an inspiration to all of us to do the same. Thank you for your support and please know of our gratitude and prayers for you and your loved ones in return.
