Mary Ellen (Kearney) Mullaney, of Franklin, died on December 2, 2020 at Massachusetts General Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by members of her family. She was the wife of Raymond, mother of Katie, and the daughter of the late Robert M. and Ann L. “Nancy” (McCaffrey) Kearney.
Mary Ellen was a lifelong resident of Franklin and a 1977 graduate of Franklin High School. She attended Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Dean College. She worked at various compound pharmacies as well as at Putnam Investments and was most recently as a data analyst for Clark Shoes.
Mary Ellen loved her hometown, remained close to her friends, many of whom she met while attending St. Mary’s School, and had wonderful memories of growing up in her family’s drugstore. She cherished the times she spent with her family. She enjoyed visiting Cape Cod during the summer, and adventures with Juli, Katie, and the family’s beloved pugs. Her greatest joys, however, were being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt.

She is also survived by her nephew Jeremy Kearney of East Boston, and a grandniece Emily Kearney of East Boston. She was predeceased by her brothers Michael and Christopher.
