Bath – Marie Maloney Johnson, 69, of West Chops Point Road passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at her residence. Marie was a bright spark in the world and will be missed by so many.
Marie was born in Shrewsbury, MA on March 2, 1953, the daughter of Donald O. and June (Johnson) Maloney. Marie grew up in Shrewsbury as the oldest daughter in a big, loving family of ten children. Her caring and generous nature was shaped by her upbringing in a house full of people and laughter. It instilled in her a deep appreciation for family, and she shared this with all who were fortunate enough to know her. She loved music and sang in various choruses throughout her life. Marie was truly grace in human form, a devoted mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, and daughter.
In 1971 she graduated from Marian High School in Worcester, MA and in 1975 from Anna Maria College with a degree in Biology and certified as a Medical Technologist.
She met her husband Peter of 43 years on a blind date, and they married in 1978. They were partners and best friends, their relationship growing stronger as time went on and deepening with the years. As a young married couple, they bought a house in Andover MA, where they started their family. In 1989 they moved to Harvard, MA where they lived for 27 years making memories with their children LJ and Patrick. During this time they also owned a home in Arrowsic, where they gained an appreciation for the beauty of Mid-coast Maine. In 2016 they retired to Bath, Maine where they spent time gardening and boating on the Kennebec River.
The things most central to Marie’s life were her family, a strong need to do the right thing and a desire to help others. This deep dedication to her family and community was reflected in everything she did. She was Chairperson of the Caring Committee at her church and active in the Harvard PTA.
She was predeceased by one sister, Nancy Maloney Thomas and her mother, June Rose Maloney.
