It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Louise Morrissette on March 9, 2025 after a valiant battle with Dementia/Alzheimer’s disease.
Mary was born on June 22, 1947 in Boston, Massachusetts, to Capt. William D. Taylor and Constance Taylor. She was the beloved sister of Ann, Terry, David, and Bill. Mary was the devoted wife of Leo Morrissette for 54 years and the proud mother of Kelly Morrissette and Erica Schwartz, as well as a loving mother-in-law to Todd Schwartz. Mary was also a cherished grandmother to Lauren and Ryan Schwartz.
After raising their family in Hampton and Stratham, New Hampshire, Mary dedicated 40 years to teaching elementary school in both New Hampshire and Florida. In 1995, she and Leo built their retirement home in Villages at Country Creek, where she remained an active and engaged member of the community.
Mary generously volunteered her time in many ways, serving as Vice President of the Ladies’ Golf League, Chairperson of the community-wide yard sale, and organizer of several HOA 1 and 2 Christmas parties. She was also instrumental in coordinating Illuminations Night on Country Barn Drive and served as editor of the Country Creek Recipe Book. Additionally, she was part of the Wii organizing committee, played bocce with the Goombas, and hosted card and mahjong groups in her home.
A celebration of Mary’s life will be held in the future. We deeply appreciate your condolences during this time of sorrow.
