Mary Ann (Cavanaugh) Putnam, 60 
Mary Ann (Cavanaugh) Putnam, of Hull and formerly of West Springfield, died on Oct. 26. She was 60 
A loving and proud mother of four, grandmother of eight, and an adored daughter, sister, and friend, Mary was born in Springfield to Leah (McCarthy) Cavanaugh, of West Springfield, and John Cavanaugh, since deceased. She was a graduate of Cathedral High School in Springfield and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University. 
For more than 35 years, Mary had a long and fulfilling career as a physical therapist, starting at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital neonatal unit, working as an in-home therapist throughout the South Shore for NVNA and EI, and ending her career in Boston at Comeback Physical Therapy. 
The greatest joys in her life came from time spent with her family and friends. Her most cherished times were spent at the beach with her grandchildren, playing in the sand, swimming, and riding boogie boards. She was an exceptionally talented artist, with a passion for the arts, and had a gift to see the beauty in all things; it has left a lasting impact on all those whom she knew. 
Mary was the devoted mother of Leah M. Putnam, of Hull; Lauren A. Rossi and her husband, Nicholas, of Marshfield; Nicholas E. Putnam, of Weymouth; and Grace S. Putnam and her partner, Devin Whelan, of Hull. She was the proud grandmother of Lily and Hailey Putnam Resnick and Faith, Scarlett and Eleanor Reilly, all of Hull; Kylie and Michael Rossi, of Marshfield; and Harper Whelan, of Hull.  
She was the sister of Joanne Ruppen, of West Springfield and New Mexico, and her late husband, James; Lee Ann Powell; Patricia Ilacqua and her husband, Christopher, of Charlton; Elizabeth Cote and her husband, John, of Southwick; and Margaret Cavanaugh, of West Springfield. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. 
The family wishes to extend special thanks to everyone at Pat Roche Hospice Home for their compassionate care in Mary’s final days.
