Mary Stimson McNamara died peacefully at her home in Savannah, GA. on Jan.26,2022. She died surrounded by her loving family. Mary and her husband Read made their home in Rochester from 1997 to 2012, and maintain many friendships in the community to this day. Read was President of Latin America for Bausch and Lomb and subsequently was a founding partner at the consulting firm CXO.
Mary was born in Pasadena, CA. in 1950 as the eldest of three children born to Nancy and Charles Stimson. She graduated from Westridge School in Pasadena in 1968 and received her BA from Wellesley College in 1972. She married Read McNamara of New Milford, CT. in 1972 and began a 50 year marriage which saw the McNamaras live in five different countries on three different continents. Overseas living did not prevent them from spending every summer at their beloved summer cottage in popham Beach, Maine.
Mary was active in Rochester as a member of The Chatterbox Club, Country Club of Rochester, Genessee Valley Club, and her passion for gardening was channeled into The Rochester Garden Club.
In addition to her husband Read of 50 years, Mary leaves behind five children and eight grandchildren. Celebrations of Mary's life will take place in Rochester in June, as well as at a private family event in Maine over the summer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Rochester Garden Club.
