Our hearts are broken as we mourn the loss of our friend and sister, Mary Black, age 73, who passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 23, 2023. Mary was married to her best friend Tony for almost 50 years. They lived in Downingtown, Pa, but their 2nd home was always Bethany Beach and her main residence upon her retirement. Mary was a fun loving beach girl who loved her home in Bethany Beach and snow birding in Naples Florida. She loved music, dancing, playing games and spending long hours at the beach. Mary was an avid reader who loved her books. Her bright light and big heart left us too soon.

Mary had many friends in Bethany Beach, PA,  Florida, Kentucky and even Germany who were her "adopted" family. She valued her family and friends and they meant the world to her. Mary was an amazing woman who was loved by all and will be surely missed. We cherish the memories and fun we had with her and she will forever be in our hearts.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Tony Black, her beloved labs Yogi and Kodi and her parents Joseph and Dorothy (King) Boughman. Survived by brothers Michael Boughman (Sally), nephew Chris (Molly), niece Courtney (Jim) Crowley, great nephew James and great nieces Emmy and Reese; brother John Boughman (Ann), niece Lauren (Brian) Kingsland, great niece Gracie, niece Kiersten (Mike) Banghart, great nephew Hudson and great nieces Josie and Everly, sister Kathy D'Amore, brother Joseph Boughman, sister-in-law Lisa, Goddaughter and niece Rachel (Mike) Marshall, great niece Carly and great nephew Tyler. She was their MerMer and she was like a grandmother to them.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary's name to Brookline Lab Rescue, P.O. Box 638, Warrington, Pa. 18976.
