Mary Lynne Bliss of Taunton, MA passed away Friday, June 30, 2023 at Morton Hospital.
Mary Lynne was born in Fall River, MA on May 26, 1947 and is the eldest child of Mary Bliss and the late William Bliss. She was the “special” big sister to Sheila (Robert) Mackie of Attleboro, MA, Paul (Susan) Bliss of Hopkinton, NH, Kerryn (John) Peagram of Rehoboth, MA and Michael (Susan) Bliss of Myrtle Beach, SC. She was an aunt, great-aunt and a great-great aunt.
She loved dogs and had many in her life. She cherished Princess, the collie. She enjoyed playing cards (especially UNO), doing puzzles, coloring and BINGO. If you visited with a Dunkin coffee and a glazed donut or tootsie pops you rose to the top of her favorite list.
For the past nine months she resided in a group home in East Taunton, MA managed by Bay Cove Human Services. There she was treated with kindness, respect and compassion. A special thank you to the wonderful staff at Bay Cove.
The family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Morton Care team especially the nurses and doctors in the ICU that took excellent care of her.
Visitation will be Wednesday July 12th, 2023 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am at O’Keefe-Wade Funeral Home 70 Washington Street Taunton followed by a funeral Mass at St. Nicholas of Myra 499 Spring Steet North Dighton at 10:30 am.
Private Burial will be at the National Cemetery Bourne Massachusetts.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Bay Cove Human Services, 66 Canal St., Boston, MA 02114 would be greatly appreciated.
