Braintree : Mary C. Dundon, 77, of Circuit Rd., passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, Jan. 1st.

She was born in Weymouth the daughter of the late Paul G. and Margaret T. (Mawn) Dundon.  She leaves four cousins, Mary McCormack of Sturbridge, Peter McCormack of Harwich, Kerry McCormack of Sturbridge and Erin Kruger of Georgia.  She leaves behind dear family friends Kathy Eno, Nicole McCue, Billy Eno and Chris Eno along with her beloved pets, 'Jax' the cat and 'Nikki' her Amazon Parrot.

Mary brought her organizational and executive skills to a number of jobs over the years after receiving both a Paralegal Certification and Medical Billing & Coding Certification from Quincy College.  She began her career at Boston Gear in a variety of office roles, which led to a position assisting  management at Bradlees for a number of years. She went on to become a Regional Office Manager for Shimadzu Scientific Instruments for almost a decade.  Most recently, Mary worked for Blue Buffalo where she could indulge her great love of animals by engaging with customers about their pets.

Mary was a very friendly person and loved a spirited conversation with everyone she met. She was an avid follower and participant in Braintree politics, and also an expert bargain hunter who never saw a coupon that she didn't clip!  If you ever needed a change in conversation, you only had to mention her pets.

Mary's burial in Blue Hill Cemetery, Braintree, will be private.  There are no calling hours.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Second Chance Animal Shelter, 111 Young Rd., East Brookfield, MA 01515.

The Daniel T. Morrill Funeral Home, 130 Hamilton St., Southbridge, is directing arrangements.
