Marie Walsh

Marie Lyons Walsh, left the world peacefully on December 5th, 2021 to join her husband Bob, her parents Jeremiah and Catherine Lyons, her sister Kay Mangan, her brother Jerry Lyons, and her son-in-law Kevin Kelly, in heaven. Marie, known to most as “Nana”/Nina is survived by her four children, Robby Walsh (Mary Jo McDonough), Lisa Howard (Joe), Jim Walsh (Suzanne), and Nancy Walsh; as well as her seventeen grandchildren, Mimi Walsh, Ben Walsh (Jenna Crevier), Tessa Schmidt (John), Alex Walsh, Mac Walsh, Lisa Sloat (Jeff), Katie Cobb (Steve); Madeline, Eloise, George and Lydia Howard, Hannah Flynn (Austin), McGuire (Nick Calitri), Bailey, Delaney, Atticus and Casey Kelly and nine great-grandchildren with two on the way! Our mom was the fun mom, rich in traditions she taught us to celebrate everything even the little things! If Mom was part of the party, you knew dancing, singing, loud laughter and games would be involved. She loved being a grandmother and was proud of each and every grandchild. Her iPhone kept her connected to family, she mastered texting and followed all her loved ones on social media. She was a proud owner of Walsh Brother’s & Sisters Insurance and Travel Agency with her husband Bob. She found joy in planning honeymoons and vacations for her clients. While she had been to many beautiful places around the world in the end her favorite place to be was wherever her family was. Our mom lit up a room with her beauty but more importantly with her positive attitude, smile, and laugh. A special thank you to the Duncaster/Caleb Hitchcock community of many aides, nurses and general staff that cared for her and treated her with grace and dignity. Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life on Monday, December 13, 2021 at 10:00 AM at St. Patrick - St. Anthony, 285 Church Street, Hartford. Burial is private. There are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Ron Foley Foundation (Fighting Pancreatic Cancer) 1000 Farmington Avenue, Suite 108A, West Hartford, CT 06107 or online https://ronsrun.org/donation-options Rest easy, Mom. You were loved. XOXO
