Obituary for Mary C. Mulroy (Lindberg)
Mary C. Mulroy, 92, a loving wife, devoted mother and doting grandmother & great-grandmother, passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at Bishop Wicke Health & Rehab Center in Shelton.
A longtime Monroe resident, Mary was born on July 23, 1928 in Hempstead, NY, daughter to the late Thyge and Ellen Lindberg. Mary graduated from Hempstead High School in 1945 and shortly thereafter, began working as an executive secretary for American Mutual Insurance Company in New York City. It was there that she met her husband of almost 62 years, Michael, who predeceased her in 2015. After moving to Monroe in 1966, in addition to raising her three children, Mary continued to work as an administrative assistant and customer service representative for a number of insurance agencies, ultimately retiring in 1989. Before her eyesight began to fail, Mary was an ever-curious and voracious reader. Mary was also an active communicant at St. Jude Catholic Church in Monroe.
Mary is survived by her three children, Mike Mulroy, Jr., and his wife Diana of Derby, Mary Ellen Keleman (predeceased by her husband John) of Shelton, Brian Mulroy and his wife Lucille of Farmington; grandchildren, Michael Mulroy III of Waterbury, Kelly D' Angelo and her husband Nick of Enfield, John P. Keleman III of Shelton, Joseph Keleman of Berlin, New Hampshire, Jim Keleman and his wife Brittany of Seymour, Kimberly Mulroy of Washington, DC and Patrick Mulroy of Farmington; great-grandchildren, Nick Jr. and Tucker D’Angelo.
Besides being sorely missed by her family, Mary will also be missed by every glass of red wine in need of an ice cube, every UNO game in need of a rules-interpreter and every house plant in need of water.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Mary’s care-givers at Bishop Wicke for their thoughtful and compassionate care.
Services will be private followed by interment in Monroe Center Cemetery Old Tannery Road Monroe.
Those who wish may donate in her name to St. Jude Roman Catholic Church, 707 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT 06468, St. Lawrence Church, 505 Shelton Ave., Shelton, CT 06484 or The Friends of the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library, 733 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT 06468.
