Marie A. (Collins) McCarthy, age 92, of Weymouth, a former longtime resident of Quincy, died peacefully, Monday, February 8, 2021, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Marie was born in Quincy, to the late Frederick J. and Margaret E. (Goullard) Collins. Raised and educated there, she was a graduate of Quincy High School, Class of 1945. She had lived in Weymouth for the past seven years, previously in Quincy. She was brought up in the Houghs Neck section of Quincy and loved her years there, growing up at 37 Sea Avenue and finally bringing her family up at 29 Sea Avenue, on scenic Great Hill. Staying in Quincy, later in life, the family moved to 23 Colonial Drive off of Adams Street, to the home which was Frank and Marie’s pride and joy for several years.

Marie worked as an administrative assistant for General Dynamics at the former Fore River Shipyard. She retired in 1986.

In addition to researching her family genealogy, Marie enjoyed travelling across the world, especially through Europe, and was proud to attend the 1984 40th anniversary commemorating D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy, France.

Most of all, Marie was devoted to her family.
