Sally E. Mcconnell

Sally E. McConnell, 83, devoted mother, nana & friend to many, died peacefully on January 12, 2023, at her home in Hull where she spent her final days surrounded by family and friends.

Sally was born in Boston on March 17, 1939. It always gave her great joy to say she was born on St. Patrick’s Day. The “luck of the Irish”, was always with Sally. She always seemed to win at Bingo, raffles and drawings. She even won an all expense cruise to South America from WBZ Radio Station.

Bertram and Mary Farrell of Milton adopted Sally at birth. Upon graduating from Milton High School, she began her career with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, where she worked for 41 years, until she retired as the Supervisor of Revenue Operations.

Sally was a proud supporter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association since the late 1960’s. She fundraised and served on the MDA Boston Executive Board.

Sally moved to Hull in 1999 and built a house with her son Michael and his family. She became actively involved with St Mary of the Assumption Parish on the fundraising committee and made many new friends in the community.

Sally was an avid New England sports fan. Her favorite team was the Boston Bruins. She traveled extensively around the world visiting places like Alaska, Russia, Europe, Iceland, and her favorite, cruising the Caribbean. Some of her other passions were reading, crocheting, computer games, and jeopardy. Sally would never let you leave her home without offering you something. She was famously known for her calzones and chocolate chip cookies. She loved conversation and had countless friends who she was proud of staying connected with over the years. Of all her talents and passions, her family and her extended family in Hull, whom she considered to be her own children and grandkids, meant the world to her.

Sally was the beloved Mother of Michael R. McConnell and his wife Judy of Hull. Beloved nana to her “favorite Granddaughter” Kayla Ahearn and her husband Richard of Scituate, Her “favorite Grandson” Tyler McConnell and his fiancé, Kamrie Sarnosky, of Hanson, and her “favorite great grandson” Keegan Ahearn, of Scituate.
