WE SEND OUT SYMPATHIES: About Town sends sympathies to Brian Murphy on the loss of his beloved wife Mary, who passed away on Feb. 6, surrounded by her loving family. Mary, a long-time resident of Stoughton, was 54-years-old.
Brian and Mary were married for 30 years, and had sons Ryan, Tyler, and Timothy, and a daughter Breanna.
Brian was a coach with the Rangers in the Stoughton Little League Majors Division years ago, when Tim was an ace pitcher and power hitter. I remember those days well, and remember Mary's smiling face at many of the games.
Donations in Mary's memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, 30 Speen Street, Framingham, MA 01701. May she Rest in Peace.
