Mary T. Dery

February 9, 1947 - August 3, 2020

Mary Turenne Dery passed away on August 3, 2020. She was 73 years old. She was born and raised in Putnam, CT. After graduating from Putnam High School, she went on to nursing school and worked at Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam for over 35 years. Mary was a meticulous keeper of her gardens and her house while applying an incomparable eye for detail and an unsurpassed sense of New England style. Later, for many years, this was evidenced in her Woodstock, CT home. Even after retiring to Bonita Springs, she never lost her New England roots and continued to refine her comfortable and welcoming home. Mary spent thousands of hours creating cross-stitch pieces which will be forever treasured by those that possess one. Her kind and caring spirit lives on in those that she befriended over the years and all those who fully understood the complexities of who she was and how she needed to live her life. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who put family first and truly loved, unconditionally, those that she was closest to. Mary was a longtime member of St Mary’s Church in Putnam, CT and, most recently, a member of St Leo Catholic Church in Bonita Springs. She is survived by her longtime care-giver and loving husband, of 53 years, Ronald Dery of Bonita Springs, FL, her two grandchildren, Nathan Hoagland and Caitlin Hoagland of Manchester CT and her son-in-law James Hoagland. She was predeceased by her two daughters, Kelly Dery and Lisa (Dery) Hoagland. Due to the current world events, a private family service will be planned for a future time.
