RIP Mary Nolan – Bay Ridge
Mary Nolan died on August 17th – she as 89 years old.
I met Mary one night soon after we moved to Bay Ridge. Then I continued running into her in bars, at church and other events.
Mary was funny, knowledgeable and quick-witted. We always had a lot to talk about because we are two Irish women, who loved Bay Ridge and talking about the neighborhood.
Mary was very knowledgeable about Irish History and immigration. She had spent many years helping Irish immigrants. Mary’s club and there club events were important to her, so hopefully someone else will continue it. (See here)
Everyone in Bay Ridge knew Mary Nolan and everyone stopped to talk with her. I did not know Mary was Donal’s mother until years later.
RIP Mary. Prayers for Mary’s sister, children and grandchildren.
Hugs,
marlene
