Obituary
Mary Welling Hunnewell, 54, of Cohasset, Ma died peacefully after a long illness on Friday, October 17 2014.
Mary was the daughter of Dr. Seth Fisher Welling (deceased) and Adrienne Gage Welling of Scarborough, ME. A graduate of Rumson - Fair Haven High School in NJ in 1978 and the University of Vermont in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business. Mary worked for many years in advertising and marketing in Boston MA. Her career took her from S.K.V. Advertising to Reebok and then to Lotus Software/IBM before she took on her most joyous role as fulltime mother of Hollis, Fisher and Charlotte.
As a child, Mary was an avid equestrian, a varsity member of her high school gymnastics team and throughout her life skied across the United States and Europe but her skiing home was Mad River Glen, VT. The family's most recent ski trip was this winter to Revelstoke BC. Mary also loved the ocean and loved to sail. In her youth she sailed Blue Jays on the Navesink River in front of the family home on Fair Haven, NJ, later joining her parents aboard the Aethena on many cruises along the coast of Maine. She also enjoyed her time sailing from Cohasset harbor and rowing with the Cohasset Maritime Institute and could be spied from time to time pulling a lobster trap with her husband.
Mary was an active volunteer spending many hours helping in the Cohasset School System beginning with the SSCC Nursery School and followed her children assisting in many classrooms, field trips, sports, and chaperone duties. Mary also enjoyed her time as a volunteer with the youth sailing program and other activities at the Cohasset Yacht Club. She could often be seen at Black Rock Beach in Cohasset paddleboarding with her beloved dog, Ziggy, onboard and her children nearby.
Mary was a kind and loving soul who will forever be missed. She is survived by her husband Hollis and her children, Hollis, Fisher and Charlotte of Cohasset, MA; her mother Adrienne Gage Welling; sister Carol Welling of Port St. Lucie, FL; Sister and brother-in-law Sally and Mark Lafferty of Lafayette, CA; sister Nancy Gage Welling of Scarborough ME and 7 wonderful nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her father Dr. Seth Fisher Welling and her brother Seth Fisher Welling Jr.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday October 30, 2014 at 12:30 pm at St. Stephens's Episcopal Church, Cohasset, MA. A reception will immediately follow at the Barn at the Red Lion Inn, Cohasset, MA.
