Resident of Avon, MA
Mary (Mullins) Veracka, lifelong resident of Avon, MA, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 30, 2022 at home, surrounded by family.
Fondly referred to as Babe, she was the youngest daughter of the late Henry and Helen Mullins. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Robert Veracka, her brothers, John Mullins, Joseph “Russ” Mullins, Paul Mullins, and Richard “Dick” Mullins, her granddaughter, Grace Bagley, as well as her best friend, Catherine Anderson.
She is survived by her sister Alice Fredette, and children Robert Veracka and his wife Donna (of Callaway, MD), Richard Veracka and his wife Marjorie (of Carver, MA), Margaret “Peggy” Bagley and her husband Robert (of Scituate, MA), Nancy Matanes and her husband Edward (of Berkley, MA), and Jayne Cushing and her husband John (of Middletown, MD). Mary is also survived by 12 grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and her furry best friend, Honey the dog.
Mary lived life to the fullest. She has driven cross-country, traveled to Canada and Mexico, and attended countless sporting events for her grandchildren. You would be most likely to find her tending to her gardens or birdwatching in her yard. Mary enjoyed afternoons at the casino, takeout from the 99, Juicy Fruit gum, anything chocolate, instant coffee, the Red Sox, and Hallmark Christmas movies on repeat. She was a friend to all and will be missed deeply.
