Mary Mccann

On Sunday Nov. 17, 2013, formerly of Newark and Wilmington, passed away peacefully at the Franciscan Care Center in Hockessin at the age of 95. She was married to Deacon Hugh J McCann for 65 years before his death in 2005. Together they were blessed with 9 children, 30 grandchildren, 43 great grand children and 2 Great Great Grand Children. Mary was dedicated to her husband and children. She never worked outside the home but worked very hard inside the home taking care of her family. She was proud of each one of her children, loved them unconditionally and always supported them in their many and varied pursuits in life. She loved family parties and especially loved seeing her grandchildren. She enjoyed music, sang in the church choir, visited the sick, and supported her husband in his role as Deacon. In addition to her husband Hugh, she was predeceased by her son Laurence McCann in 1979, daughter Regina Kotowski in 2003, and son-in-law Harold Chudnofsky in 2009.
