Aunt Mary, Age 97 of Paramus, died on Monday, February 7, 2011.
Mary D. Maybe, age 97 of Paramus, died on Monday, February 7, 2011.
“Aunt Mary” as she was known to almost everyone, lived in the Forest Hills section of Newark and worked as a Newark tax collector before retiring in 1972. She moved to Wayne in 1971 and eventually to Paramus in 2006.
After Aunt Mary retired in 1972, she still needed to keep busy and took a position with Meyer Brothers and then Macy’s. She had a strong work ethic and simply couldn’t sit still. She continued to work until she was eighty nine years old, a testament to her determination.
She had a big heart and was feisty, even fresh at times, which was right in line with her ½ Irish and ½ English heritage. Of course, if you inquired about her heritage, she would tell you that she was early American…real early. She was a devoted Catholic, a fantastic socializer, a great people-person, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was simply a great woman and you just had to love her. Her family meant the world to her and she was extraordinarily close with all of them. She had lived with her brother and sister her entire life until her sister, Rita Coomber, passed in 1995, and then her brother, John Maybe, died in 2006.
Mary is survived by her loving nieces and nephews; Barbara Coomber of Wayne, Donald Coomber and his wife Kathy of Saddle River, Richard Maybe and his wife Margaret of Whippany, John Maybe and his wife Chris of Lakewood, Patricia Smith and her husband Anthony of New York City, and Jean Gates and her husband Thomas of Manheim, PA, as well as many more great nieces, nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews.
Mary lived for more than sixty five years with Diabetes. In her memory, donations to the American Diabetes Association would be greatly appreciated. You can mail donations to: American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312, or visit www.diabetes.org.
