Maryangela Greveris

Maryangela Lorraine Greveris (née Murtaugh), age 81, passed away peacefully on June 2, 2025, in Towson, Maryland. Born and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey, she was the beloved daughter of the late Theresa Anise (Lombardi) Murtaugh and Thomas Harris Murtaugh.

Mary was a graduate of Temple University, having earned a degree in Urban Planning in 1966. She traveled the world with her family before settling in Churchville, Maryland where she was an active member of her community. Mary served proudly with the Darlington Lions Club and was an integral member of her neighborhood book club. Mary was an accomplished Master Gardener who took pride in sharing her extensive knowledge with others and who found joy in nurturing all living things.

Mary was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Harry Adolf Greveris; by her daughter, Pamela Greveris; and by her brother, Thomas L. Murtaugh.

Mary is survived by her loving children, Robert Greveris and his girlfriend, Sarah, and Cristin Harrington and her husband, Marc. She was cherished by her grandchildren: Dylan Short Greveris and his fiancée, Stephanie; Alexander Greveris, and Ava Greveris; Savanna Candelaria, Amelia Harrington, and Brenna Harrington; and by her great-granddaughter, Evelyn Short.

Mary cultivated many close relationships throughout her lifetime and is also survived by her dearest friends: sister-in-law, Ruth Smothers; cousin, Mary Coffina; and lifelong friend, Alberta Porter.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mary’s memory may be made to the Darlington Lions Club.

Mary will be remembered for her warmth, strength and the deep love she had for her family and community. She will be greatly missed.
