Celebrating the life of
Mary Charles McLaughlin Boniface
July 09, 1936 - September 28, 2022
Mary Charles McLaughlin Boniface died in Richmond Virginia on September 28, 2022. She was born on July 9, 1936 in Macon, Georgia. She is preceded in death by her parents Mary Bischoff McLaughlin and Charles Keiley McLaughlin, her husband Robert Edward Boniface and child, Robert Charles Boniface. She graduated from Mount DeSales Academy in Macon followed by Dunbarton College in Washington DC earning a BA in English literature.
Mary is survived by her children Katherine Boniface Elliott, Nancy Boniface Weekley, Robert Keiley Boniface (Jenny) and Charles Christopher Boniface, her grandchildren Robert Coleman Elliott, Rachel Windham Elliott and Trevor Walton Elliott, her sisters Beth McLaughlin McKinnon and Fran McLaughlin Thomas (Hue), several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
After college, Mary taught school in Savannah where she met her husband. They moved to Atlanta then to Richmond until Bob retired and they returned to Savannah. After the children were grown Mary taught watercolor painting, pursued an advanced degree in design at Savannah College of Art and Design, and sang in the chorus of the Savannah Symphony. She also took up ballroom dancing and the Carolina Shag.
Mary’s steadfast Catholic faith was a touchpoint for her entire life and brought her great joy and comfort. Her sweet voice was a beautiful addition to the church choir. Mary will be remembered for many things especially her motherly- loving nature, her beautiful watercolors and her unparalleled squash casserole.
