About Marie

Marie Conley from Dorchester was a mother of 4 (Jim, Jennifer, Michael, and Christopher).  She had 5 grandchildren and was a loving mother, sister and daughter. She worked as a crossing guard for the city of Boston at the Mather School in Dorchester.

Marie loved to help people, from her family and friends to the children she came in contact with at the crossing, as well as caring for the elderly. On the morning of October 21, 2008 she was crossing a child when a vehicle struck her; luckily she was able to push the child out of the way to save him.

Unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries and died on October 29, 2008.

Scholarships have been started in Marie’s name to continue what she loved to do,  help in any way she could.
