Mary was born on Dec. 19,1937, in Housatonic, Massachusetts to the late George M. and Louise M (Maier) Baumann.

Isabelle and her husband David of West Hartland, Connecticut; her beloved grandson David C. Whitbeck and his partner Jennifer Gwinn, and their children, Tucker D. Whitbeck and Kaelary Gwinn of Madison, Tennessee; her surviving brothers Gerald R. Baumann of Lee, Massachusetts, and M. Peter Baumann of Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The family also wishes to honor Dominic Franzoso of Everett, Massachusetts, for the joy and friendship he brought to Mary’s life.

Mary is predeceased by husband, Charles E. (Tuck) Whitbeck, her brothers Thomas W., James A., Paul M., George R. (Bob), John F., Joseph P., and her sisters Patricia Ciolina, Ann Costa and Joan Clark.

Mary was a communicant of St. Mary’s Parish in Lakeville, where her Mass will be celebrated on Friday, Nov. 8, 2024, at 11 a.m. A Christian Burial at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Salisbury will follow. Ryan Funeral Home, Lakeville, is in care of arrangements.
