Mary Heath Tully entered into eternal rest on March 18, 2016. She was born November 17, 1935 in West Bethel, Maine. Mary graduated from Gould Academy in 1954 and attended Gorham State Teacher's College. She was a member of St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Marblehead, Massachusetts. She served as a docent at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. She was also an enthusiastic member of The Beach Club and the Busy Bee Society.
She is survived by her son, Jack Heath and his wife, Patty; her daughter Marjory Wentworth and her husband Peter; five grandchildren: Margaret and Emma Heath, Hunter, Oliver and Taylor Wentworth; her brother Joseph Kneeland, and her sisters Jane Smith, Gloria Young and Suzanne Grover and their families.
She was preceded in death by her parents Libby Goodridge Kneeland and Roland Merle Kneeland, her sister Beverly Morrell, her brothers Frederick and Reginald Kneeland, her first husband John Andrew Heath and her second husband Robert Michael Tully.
Mary Tully was blessed with many friends of all ages, from her youth in Bethel, Maine to her later years at Sandpiper Village in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Previously, she lived at Schooner Estates in Auburn, Maine where she made dozens of friends and organized a fashion show. Known for her generous spirit, she remained close to her friends on the North Shore of Boston, where she lived most of her adult life.
Mary's family would like to thank all her caregivers at Hospice of Charleston, Sandpiper Rehabilitation Center and East Cooper Hospital in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
A memorial service will be held in Marblehead, Massachusetts later this spring.
