Mary Elizabeth McCarthy, 83, passed away at her family’s private residence on Lake Roosevelt, Washington on September 13, 2026. Born in 1943 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Mary was the youngest of four children of Thomas and Eileen Mahoney.


She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Patrick Joseph McCarthy; and her siblings Colleen, Dani, and Michael.


Mary graduated from Holy Names Academy in 1961. She attended Gonzaga University and earned her nursing degree from St. Elizabeth School of Nursing.


Shortly thereafter, she married Patrick Joseph McCarthy and moved to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he was stationed with the U.S. Army. They had two children, Patrick and Shannon.


Mary worked as a registered nurse for 43 years, including emergency medicine and later managing orthopedic, pediatric, and other specialty units. She retired from Holy Family Hospital in 2009. She was an incredibly strong and driven woman for whom independence was always important.


Mary is survived by her children, Patrick and Shannon, and their families. A small funeral service will be held in the near future. Details will be shared with friends and family.
