Mary Denise Haddon (nee McCarty) passed away on November 08th, 2022 after a short but powerful battle with cancer.
Born June 17th, 1948, she was raised in Glenview, IL before moving to Denver to attend Loretto Heights College in 1966. There she met her husband, Timothy Haddon, a student at the Colorado School of Mines. After both graduated in 1970 Mary worked in Washington D.C. as an administrative assistant before emigrating to Australia to marry Tim on February 26th, 1971.
What followed was an adventurous life as Mary spent her newlywed years in a mining camp in Western Australia before moving homes frequently between the USA and Australia in support of Tim’s career advancement. She gave birth in 1973 to Michael (married to Christin) and in 1976 to Jennifer (married to Brennan).
A devoted and supporting wife and mother, a loyal friend, a lifelong student of history, a fierce champion of honoring veterans, a philanthropist, and the immensely proud grandmother of Margaret, Timothy and Abigail, Mary was 74 years old.
