Mary Frances Hurt

May 09, 1933 ~ August 26, 2024

We are celebrating the passage of a very strong independent woman, who raised two very strong, independent women and two very strong independent men . She was a family person through and through. Her life revolved around creating and nurturing her children for the first 26-30 years of her adult life.

She was the president of the local PTA at Samoset Elementary, where we all attended for at least a few years, and she loved being in charge. That followed through her entire lifetime. She was passionate about making sure the school administration listened to the parental input.

Later on, she enjoyed the competition of a basketball team with moms against daughters at the only youth center available to us in the country setting we lived in. She was the one to pick us up from band practice or cheerleading practice, or 12am football game bus trips. I learned to drive with her and she took me down long country roads to do so well before I was able to get my license. I know she instilled the love of camping/fishing in my sister. God bless her for that.

She was the sole provider for the family for an extended period, but she managed to pull it off. After all the children left, her travels took her to Alabama where she became the manager of a KFC restaurant. Again, her love of food became her source of support. As time does, she moved forward to meet the love of her life, Edward Hurt. She lived most contentedly with him for many years. When he passed on to the next world, my loving sister Peggy provided a comfortable residence for her and cared for her for about 10 years.

As fate would have it, she was able to move to the East Coast, and enjoy the benefits of a home near her family there. Since then, her health declined and required additional help.

We come together today to celebrate the dedication of this woman to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She remained steadfast in her commitment to her family and friends.

As you can see, we don’t care who preceded her in death, or who remains alive. This is a tribute to her, not them. We hope you can understand that. It’s all about her.

Mary Ellen it was an honor knowing Frances. She lived a great life and was loved by many. She will be greatly missed.

“A limb has fallen from the family tree,
I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, • the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while l was strong. Continue A my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again”

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
