YARMOUTH – Mary died peacefully at her home in North Yarmouth, after a period of decline. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Mary was born and raised in Seneca Falls, N.Y., to Italian immigrant parents.

She graduated salutatorian from Mynderse Academy in 1948. She was working at New York Telephone and Telegraph Company when she met her husband Bill. He was stationed at Sampson AFB nearby. She and Bill raised three children in Long Island, N.Y. Years later they moved to Mexico, and Howard Pond in Hanover. Mary was employed at the Oxford Federal Credit Union for 21 years. She was proud to complete her AD in Accounting from Husson College in 1994.

Mary and Bill split their retirement years between Port St Lucie, Fla., and their “camp” at Howard Pond in Hanover. Mary enjoyed a full life. She loved to cook- and eat good food. She traveled to Italy many times and was able to reconnect with family. She learned MahJong with her close friends at the pond. She loved watching the loons and hummingbirds while enjoying her morning coffee. Mary was especially proud to watch her grandsons, Noah and Elijah, grow into young adulthood.

Mary was a longtime member of the Parish of the Holy Savior and the Daughters of St. Timothy Circle #504, Daughters of Isabella.

Mary was predeceased by her parents Michael and Esther Zona and her younger brother, Joseph Zona of Seneca Falls.

Mary’s surviving family will miss her greatly. Her husband of 69 years, William J. Morgan Jr., her daughters, Teresa A Morgan of South Portland, Mary E. Burgess of North Yarmouth and William J. Morgan III and his sons, Noah C. and Elijah W. Morgan of Auburn, and Nicholas Zona of Seneca Falls, N.Y.
