Marie Genevieve Montague 81 of South Dennis and Waltham died peacefully Sunday February 20, 2022 at the Mill Hill Residences in West Yarmouth.

Born in Brookline, Marie was the daughter of the late John and Julia (Casey) Montague. She was a graduate of Northeastern University.

Marie worked as an executive secretary for the Polaroid Corporation and Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

Marie was independent and had a vibrant personality from the beginning. She enjoyed traveling and was always up for an adventure. After her retirement, Marie spent her time enjoying the company of her family and friends, while traveling the country in her RV. An active, prize-winning member of the Bay State African Violet Society, Marie was most at home in her garden, tending to her plants and propagating heirloom cuttings.

Marie is survived by her two sisters, Judith Rowan and Jean Burgess; her beloved niece and caretaker Patricia Leaver; her nieces Julie Rowan, Christine Rowan and Julie Nelson; two nephews, Michael Rowen, and William Burgess; and a large extended network of family and friends.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday March 15 in Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Church, 920 Trapelo Rd, Waltham, MA 02452.

Interment will follow in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Watertown.

Visiting hours will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday March 14 in the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave., South Yarmouth.

I am so sorry to hear of my cousin Marie's passing. We were always close, but unfortunately, not always in close contact. In fact, she was in my wedding. Unfortunately, due to some health issues, I will not be able to attend Marie's services. God bless, Jane
