SALISBURY — Mary Carroll (“M.C.”) Marden, 80, of New York City, passed away on Dec. 27, 2024, at her weekend home in Salisbury.

M.C. was born Dec. 20, 1944, in Bronxville, New York, daughter of the late Nicholas B. and Kathryn F. Marden. M.C. graduated from Briarcliff High School and received her B.A. in English Literature from Elmira College in 1966. M.C. began her career as a copywriter at Harper and Row Publications and spent most of her professional life working for Time Inc. in New York City, starting out as a researcher for Time-Life Books and rising to the position of Picture Editor for People Magazine. M.C. was passionate about photography and many of her closest friends were photographers and photo editors she had worked with over the course of her career. M.C. loved traveling and made frequent trips to London and Paris throughout her life, but she also had an enormous love of the American West and spent many summers in Montana with her close friends and family.

M.C. is survived by her nieces and nephews and her beloved English Cocker Spaniel, Jenny. Her older brothers, Michael and Brice died in 2010 and 2023, respectively.

A memorial service for M.C. will be held at a later date in New York City.
