SAVANNAH – Mary Darmody Tausche, 83, died Saturday, May 16, 2009, at Candler Hospital.
Born on August 13, 1925 in Columbus, Ohio, she was the daughter of Martin Patrick and Elizabeth Ward Bringardner. Her Grandfather, John Darmody, a Notre Dame graduate, made the first triple play, unassisted, in baseball history in 1873.
Mary, known as Mimi, graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority. While there she met, and later married, David C. Tausche.
During her life she resided in a number of locations including a period in The Netherlands from 1961 – 1967. She was editor of the American Women's Club Magazine of The Hague, Editor of The Landings Landlovers Newsletter, and a writer for the original TWATL of The Landings in Savannah, GA.
She moved to The Landings on Skidaway Island in 1980 where she enjoyed golf and following a severe stroke that left her unable to read, write or speak, she and her husband entered The Marshes of Skidaway Island in June 2005.
She is survived by her husband, David, and her four children, Gregar A. Tausche of Ithaca, NY, John C. Tausche and his wife Martha and their son Jonah of Wichita, KS, Ann Farmer and her children James and Elizabeth of Albuquerque, NM, and Edward M.

Dear David and family, I am so sorry about Mimi's passing. I will miss her sweetness and positive spirit. Bringing communion to her was a joy for me. She certainly loved her family and enjoyed looking at the family pictures on the wall of her bedroom. I imagine one of the first things she will do in her new home in heaven is hang those family photos. You and Mimi will remain in my prayers. God Bless, Joan
