On December 29, 2023, the tranquility of Clough was marked by a somber note as Mary Morton peacefully bid farewell to this world. In the comfort of her home at 2 Ballyreagh Road, Ballymena, Mary’s gentle spirit departed, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, love, and cherished memories. As the community gathers to reflect on her life, we honor the memory of a woman who touched the hearts of those who knew her.
Mary, dear sister of the late Jeannie, William, and Ellen (Nellie), brought a quiet grace to the lives of those around her. Her passing is not just a moment of sadness but also an occasion to celebrate a life well-lived, marked by the simplicity of kindness and the richness of familial bonds. In the hush of Clough, where Mary made her home, the echoes of her laughter and the warmth of her presence linger.
Her departure is deeply felt, not just by family but by the entire community that benefited from her kindness and goodwill. Mary’s impact extended far beyond the walls of her residence, reaching into the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As we remember Mary, we reflect on the cherished moments shared with a woman whose gentleness was a source of comfort to those around her. Her dear sister, the late Jeannie, William, and Ellen (Nellie) are reunited with Mary in the embrace of eternal peace, leaving behind a family tapestry woven with the threads of love and shared memories.
Mary’s legacy is embodied in the lives of her much-loved niece and nephew, Wilbert and Wendy. As the much-loved aunt, Mary played a special role in their lives, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts. The bond they shared with Mary is a testament to the enduring power of family connections and the impact of a loving aunt who left an impression far beyond her years.
In this time of mourning, as Clough remembers Mary, let us draw strength from the lessons she imparted through a life lived with grace and simplicity. The quietude of her home, where she peacefully departed, serves as a reminder that the spirit of a loved one endures in the memories they leave behind.
As we say our final goodbyes to Mary Morton, may her soul find eternal peace, reunited with those who went before her. In the hearts of the Clough community, the memory of Mary will endure as a beacon of love and kindness that illuminated the lives of those she touched.
