Mary Jane Remondi

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother Mary J. (Whalen) Remondi the morning of October 29, 2026. She was 84. Mary was a loving and devoted wife, mother, nana, and great nana who will be remembered for her kindness, warmth, and the special place she held in the hearts of those who knew her.

Born in Boston to Edward and Mabel Whalen, she was the sixth of six children. She married Edward (Ed) Remondi in 1963 and shared 58 years together until his passing in April of 2021. She is survived by her daughter, M.J. (Janie) Galat and her husband David, son, Edward Remondi Jr. and his wife Sheila. One of her greatest joys was being the best nana to her grandchildren Casey and Matthew Galat, Marrissa (Joseph) Diaz, Allison (German) Aguilar, and great grandson Mateo Aguilar. Sister to Estelle Stanley of Centerville and the late Edward Whalen, William Whalen, Mabel Dudek and Eleanor “Honey” Saliba. Also survived by many beloved nieces and nephews.

Raised in Hyde Park, she attended St. Angela School, Mattapan, and graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Jamaica Plain.

Family was Mary’s greatest joy. She and Ed rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on their grandchildren at sporting events, attend their activities and school functions, or celebrate their many milestones. Her devotion extended to her large, loving extended family as well. Whether it was a wedding, birthday party, Fourth of July gathering, Ed’s annual spaghetti feed in Pembroke, or holiday celebrations, if Mary was invited, she was there. Every family celebration was something to look forward to. Time spent with family was truly the highlight of Mary’s life.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the services for Mary and Edward on Friday, November 20th at 2:30 pm at the National Veteran’s Cemetery, Bourne, MA. Please arrive by 2:10 pm for services.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Mary may be made to Ahimsa Haven Animal Rescue 273 Central St. Winchendon, MA 01475
