Mary K Colleran

July 7, 1947 — July 10, 2021

Mae would meet the love of her life Barney shortly after her arrival. She married Barney Colleran on September 23, 1972. The couple lived in Yonkers. Mae worked in the dietary department at Montiefiore North, formerly known as Our Lady of Mercy Hospital. She was a very low key person and down to earth, yet proud and strong willed. Her smile and laugh could light up a room. She could also converse about any topic.
Mae will be remembered by many for her generosity with people, especially children. She was a true caregiver and would always have your back. To say the least "Mae had a heart of gold".
Mae is survived by her brother Paddy Joe in Ireland, sister in laws; Liz and Criona, Nephews; PJ and Michael, Nephew in law Brian and Niece Michelle. She will be missed by everyone who knew her especially family, friends and her "Baby Sammy" her dog . Mae is predeceased by her husband Barney and her brother Michael.
