I have been trying to remember the first time I met Mary and I can´t quite remember, but when we met, it felt like I had known her all my life. She was such a bright light, larger than life, beautiful human being. I will miss her deeply and will look for signs of her throughout each day.

Sending love and light to Catie, Martha and Susan. May your memories carry you through your grieving.

I am sending love and light to Martha, Susan and Catie. Mary was a bright light and beautiful spirit and she will be missed. May your memories of her carry you through your grieving.

So many memories of my times with Mary. She is and was always a bright light in my life. Sometimes , on Sunday mornings, we would meet on a park bench in the center of New Haven, sit quietly and drink coffee, then wander into the local church, and sit at the back and listen to the people sing their hymns. It was oddly peaceful to see all of those otherwise strangers, singing together as one.
I will never forget this soul, and am tremendously grateful for having her as a part of my life.
She makes me smile every time I think of her, and she always will. Rest peacefully Mary. We will miss you here. Thank you, for stopping by, and entertaining us while you were here.
I love you,

Mary´s sudden and unexpected passing evokes deep sadness for so many of us. Not only her coworkers in the performing arts industry and her legions of fans, but also her many friends from so many chapters in her life. I met her in the fall of 1986 when we were both beginning our time in the acting program at the Yale School of Drama. I was immediately delighted, impressed, and impacted by her "larger than life force of nature" spirit. Her talent was absolutely huge - immense. Her heart was the very same. To be friends with Mary was to have a deep heart connection... Strong and unconditional love. I am so grateful for her presence in my life. I will continue to feel that presence as time goes by. Sending deep condolences and very warm wishes to all of her family and friends. Thank you, Mary Mara!

Our deepest condolences to the family and her closest friends. She will be missed. She was a vibrant, talented funny woman. We love you Mary Mara, RIP. I guess God's got a big role up there in heaven that only you can perform. God blessed us either your presence. May your star shine brightly. Love Pam and John.

Fun loving, political, genuine, helpful, talented actor, jack of all trades, friend. We will miss this awesome lady who left us way too soon. Condolences to Sue and Martha

The profound loss of beautiful, wonderful, talented Mary is felt the world around, and her light will shine forever as our guardian angel. Love and strength to you, Martha, and to your family. Words do not suffice...xo

Mary and I were injured on the same afternoon in 1965. We found ourselves on emergency room beds next to each other at Community General Hospital on the south side of Syracuse, New York. She said: "My name is Mary Mara, and my father is Roger Mara. I am in kindergarten. I am getting stitches in my knee." So, I answered with my name, and how I was "getting stitches in my eyebrow. I fell off a swingset and it cut above my eye." Turns out she was from Most Holy Rosary Parish, as was I. My mother, a nurse had made certain a plastic surgeon would stitch my visible wound. When he appeared to place the stitches, Mary kept me company, telling me more about herself. So I did not feel so alone, nor as worried about my injury. An outspoken child, I can see how she ended up in the entertainment field. She was a classmate in grade school through 9th grade. I wish she had not taken a swim that day. Many people will feel the loss. Yet she will be seen and heard on the screen.

Mary has earned her wings as the good Lord has called her home.
She was such a shining
star, a bright light to so many.
Her beautiful smile was so contagious and her way with others was so special.She captured the hearts of many.
My deepest sympathy goes out to her Family. My love, thoughts and prayers to all.
Mary, may you Rest In Paradise. You will be forever in the hearts of your Rosary and Corcoran Families. Your smile and beautiful soul will live on in all of us.
Peace & Love.
Sue Voltz Sprague .& Family

This is one of the Rosary girls in which her smile lit up the room laughter contagious it’s a great memory and her career shows her strength and kindness with respect to all this is so long for now. Heavy heart

My condolences.

Mary was one of my students at Most Holy Rosary High School in Syracuse...she was a bright light, performed in school plays, and always had an inquisitive and charmingly impish twinkle in her eyes. I enjoyed many fun conversations with her, and her enthusiasm and big smile always brightened my day. I was so happy that she was able to achieve her dream of acting...she is gone way too soon. RIP sweet Mary.

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the family's..My condolences.

I met Mary years ago and spent time with her before she went to CA. Such great memories that we will never ever forget and after her move we would see her many summer vacations at The River with all of our River Friends. I loved her beautiful soul and will miss her deeply RIP
