Obituary of Mary Elizabeth Cohee

Mary Elizabeth Cohee, a resident of Regalcare Greenwich, passed peacefully in her sleep after a prolonged battle with cancer on September 16, 2021. She was born on July 30, 1958, in Cleveland, Ohio. From the time she could speak, she declared herself an artist, a love in which she indulged her entire life. After several moves to Hopkins, Minnesota and Wyncote, Pennsylvania, the family finally settled in Darien, Connecticut in the late 1960's, where Mary spent the bulk of her childhood. She graduated from Darien High School in 1975 and attended Wheaton College. Although challenged by disability, Mary managed to overcome it with remarkable success and live a productive and independent life in Greenwich, Connecticut. She was a favorite resident of Pathways and a top shelver in the Greenwich Library's Children's Room (she loved talking with the children) for over twenty-five years. She was an active and resolute participant in arts and therapeutic organizations in the community: everybody loved her. Mary is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Mignon Cohee Reynolds and Roger Reynolds of Lake Oswego, Oregon, her sister and brother-in-law, Katherine Cohee Taylor and Stuart Taylor of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and her nephew, Aaron Reynolds of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was predeceased by her mother, Roberta Mackenzie, her father George E. Cohee Jr., and her brother, George E. Cohee III. She is considered family by Pathways.
