Mary Esther Roy, aged 65, passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on Thursday, April 9, 2020 in Durham, NC.
Mary was born November 21, 1954 in Montpelier. In 1960, the Round family moved to Newport and Mary and her brothers grew up on the banks of Lake Memphremagog. Mary graduated from North Country Union High School in 1972. She attended the University of Oregon before transferring to the University of Vermont, graduating with a degree in botany. In 1979, she would marry Michael Roy of Newport, living in Mississauga, Ontario, before settling in Florence, Kentucky, in 1987. While being a devoted mother, she would go on to obtain her Master's Degree in Library Sciences from the University of Kentucky and pursue a successful career as a librarian at several local public libraries and schools.
In 2006, Mary and Michael returned to Vermont for a few years before retiring and moving to Durham, North Carolina, in 2016, settling in the Creekside community. Mary stayed busy. She served as the neighborhood ambassador and participated in game nights, coffee with the latte ladies, and the book club. She played Mahjong, loved Jeopardy, and was an avid trivia fan. Mary always looked forward to the Sunday paper, completing the crossword puzzle (in ink!). Weekends were spent enjoying long bicycle rides and hikes with Michael and friends. And most days, Mary could be found in her quilting room, immersed in projects for hours and hours. It was her happy place!
For those who knew her, Mary was funny and witty-a friend to all. She was the ultimate navigator on road trips and would provide sage advice when planting flowers, trees, and bushes. She loved being a "Mimi" to her three grandchildren and would spend hours playing, watching soccer and baseball games, or simply holding their hands on a walk.
Mary is survived by her husband, Michael Roy, children [names of other survivors omitted] and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father, Franklin Round, her mother, Vera Round, and her nephews Jason and Brian.
