Mary Ellen Watson Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Mary Ellen, who departed this life peacefully on July 21, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey on August 5, 1944, Mary Ellen was a beacon of strength, kindness, and unconditional love. She dedicated her life to her family, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support shaped the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. Mary Ellen was more than a mother-she was a confidante, a teacher, a nurturer, and a friend. Her laughter was infectious, her meals unforgettable, and her presence a comfort to all. Whether cheering from the sidelines, offering late-night advice, or simply holding your hand in silence, she gave her whole heart to those she loved. She is survived by her husband, Lawrence Watson, daughter Lara Nelson and husband Chris, son Timothy Watson and wife Michelle, and her three grandchildren; Allyson, Madeline and Brady, all of whom will carry forward her legacy of compassion and grace. Though our hearts ache with her absence, we find comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the countless lives she touched and that she is with the Lord for all of Eternity. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
