Mary Jane McCarthy

Hampton - Mary Jane McCarthy, 88, of Hampton, entered into eternal peace on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, surrounded by her loving family, in her daughter’s home in Rye. Jane was born March 5, 1928 in Worcester, MA, daughter of the late Hubert and Mary (Ward) McGourty. She graduated from North High School in 1946 where she met the love of her life, the late Allen E. McCarthy. The two were married on October 6, 1951 in Worcester where they raised their seven children. In 1976, Jane and Allen relocated to their summer home in Hampton. The Seacoast has always held a special place for them. There are many beautiful memories of sailing with family and friends on the Pisces, spending time enjoying the Rye Beach Club, and the endless cookouts at their home on North Beach. Jane will always be remembered for her kindness and generosity. Her home was always open and, just like the dancing waves along the New Hampshire Seacoast that she so loved, Jane always made us smile and feel welcomed. What a wonderful legacy to leave behind! Jane is survived by her three daughters, Lisa Sheehan and her husband, Bob, of Nashua; Taryn McCarthy Loch and her husband, Bob Loch of Rye; Susan Pope and her husband, Richard, of Kennebunk, ME; and her daughter in law, Nina McCarthy, wife of her late son, Stephen W. McCarthy of Stratham; her three sons, Allen “Jay” McCarthy and his wife Lee Anne of Hampton Falls; Duffy and his wife Jen of Hampton; and Timothy and his girlfriend, Cheryl Hughes of Sacramento, CA; her eleven grandchildren, and her two great – grandchildren, her sisters, Ann Mathieu of Winchendon, MA and Carole Harmon of Worcester, MA, and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Theresa Hansen and Sara Clark for their love and support of our mother these past two years. A visiting hour will be held from 9 to 10 AM on Friday, May 27, 2016 in the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home, 811 Lafayette Rd, Hampton.
