Tuesday November 29 2022
NORTHBOROUGH Mary T. Burke, beloved mother, grandmother and friend to many, passed away peacefully on November 29, 2022, at the age of 92 years old. Mary was born and raised in Clinton, one of four children to Patrick F. and Elizabeth R. (Quail) Kirby. After her graduation from Clinton H.S. Mary worked several years at Colonial Press in Clinton. Soon thereafter Mary relocated to the Pierce Farm on Ball Hill Road where she assisted with day to day operations of the farm and began to raise her young family. Mary has proudly and meticulously maintained her own home until present day. After the untimely passing of her husband, Richard Pierce, in 1958, Mary became employed with the Town of Northborough. For many years she served as Assistant Tax Collector before transferring to the Treasurer’s Office. In 1990 Mary retired to devote more time to her grandchildren. She enjoyed trips to Cape Cod, square dancing, knitting, visiting everyone at Davidian’s Farm Stand and keeping up with family activities. The Christmas Season, most Christmas Eve, was a favorite time for Mary. She looked forward to decorating the tree with the grandchildren and having everyone together. With a quick wit and a great sense of humor, Mary could always bring a smile to your face. She shared her motherly love with everyone and was a true friend who you could count on. Mary was there, helping others with no expectation of return. During this Season please remember and honor Mary by sharing a smile and a helping hand to others. Surviving Mary are her daughter, Debra Davidian and husband David of Northborough; her six grandchildren, DJ Davidian (Lindsey), Matthew Davidian (Annie Heyliger) and Kevin Davidian; Todd Burke, Kimberly Burke, Ashley Johnson and six great-grandchildren Ryan, Mia, Brooke, Will, Gianna and Cameron. Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, Louis A. Burke; her step-children David Burke and Laurie Johnson; a grandchild, Trevor Burke and her siblings, Patrick Kirby, Joe Kirby and Gail Castagnetti. Calling hours will be held from 12-3PM on Sunday, December 4, at Hays Funeral Home, 56 Main Street, Northborough. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Rose of Lima Parish, 244 W. Main Street, Northborough. Mary will be laid to rest in Howard Street Cemetery, Northborough. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.HaysFuneralHome.com.
