Mary Margaret Kearney

Mary “Muffie” Margaret (Moloney) Kearney of Norwood passed away on September 5, 2025, at the age of 76. Beloved wife of Robert Kearney for 54 years. Devoted mother of Eileen Kennedy and her husband Brian of Scituate, and Brian Kearney and his wife Erin of Cohasset. Sister to Paul Moloney and his wife Kendra of Millville, Delaware, sister and best friend of Ellen Bergeron and her husband Mike of Norwood. The greatest joy of her life was spending time with and being the Grammy of Cait & Clare Kennedy, Maeve, Coleman, Ronan, and Quinn Kearney. Beloved Auntie Muff to many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and nephews. Predeceased by her mother and namesake, Mary (Sharpe) Moloney, and Uncle James “Jimmy” Sharpe.

She never forgot her Rozzie roots. She looked back on her time at Mount Saint Joseph Academy as her “glory days”, where she served as class President and graduated in 1967. She would have liked you all to know she was the greatest bike rider to ever hit the streets of the greater Boston area, and an unconfirmed double Dutch champion.

The door at 281 Winter Street was always open to all friends and neighbors, with the freezer stocked with Brigham’s ice cream. She loved to host, with the legendary Christmas Eve party being the highlight of most loved ones' years. You could often find Muffie enjoying lunch at the Pleasant Cafe in Roslindale with her cousin Ann Flanagan and lifelong friend Mary Burgoyne.

She taught all who knew her to love fiercely. She never needed to be the center of attention, but was the quiet backbone of our family, and she will be forever missed.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Visiting Hours in the Holden, Dunn and Lawler Funeral Home, 55 High Rock St, Westwood on Friday September 12th from 4-7pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, September 13th at 10am in St. Catherine of Siena Church, 549 Washington St., Norwood. Interment following the Mass at Highland Cemetery, Norwood.
