Obituary

Mary Gay (Marble) Talcott

Mary Gay (Marble) Talcott, 93, died February 18, 2011, at Mertens House in Woodstock, VT.

She was born September 17, 1917, in her family's home in Woodstock, the daughter of Richard Merrill and Mary Cotton (Dana) Marble.

Mary Gay graduated from Woodstock High School in 1935 and from Colby Junior College in 1937. She worked several years at Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, NH.

On July 20, 1946, she married Robert Morris Talcott in Woodstock. They lived in several places before moving to Stamford, CT, in 1955 and stayed there for 40 years. They retired to Woodstock in 1995. While focused on raising their three children, Mary Gay also volunteered in Cub Scouts and at St. Joseph's Hospital, and taught Sunday school. She worked for many years in leadership roles with the Girl Scouts of Southwestern Connecticut.

Mary Gay loved the Boston Red Sox and was extremely happy when the team won a second (and then a third) World Series in her lifetime. She enjoyed watching and participating in parades and rode in last year's Alumni Day Parade celebrating her 75th Reunion. She and Bob loved to dance.

She was predeceased by her husband Bob after 55 years of marriage, and by her brother Richard Dana Marble. She is survived by sister-in-law Louisa Grogan of Madison, VA; three children, Robert Talcott and wife Judy Delaney of Wooster, OH, Rebecca Talcott of Woodstock, and Richard Talcott and wife Evelyn of Waukesha, WI; five grandchildren, Megan McClory and husband Shawn, Alison Talcott, Grant and Reid Delaney, and Kate Graf, all of OH; two great grandchildren, Sara and Jayna McClory; and many nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 22, 2011, at 2 PM at the Cabot Funeral Home in Woodstock, VT. Jennifer Donaldson will officiate. A burial service will be held in May at Riverside Cemetery in Woodstock.

There will be no calling hours.
