Kerhonkson, NY - Mary Anne Roohan, affectionately known as Mimi, aged 75, passed away peacefully at the Kingston Hospital on January 17, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on October 6, 1949, in Saratoga Springs, Mimi was the cherished daughter of the late Dr. Leo W. and Jeanne Anne (Norton) Roohan.

Mimi's life was marked by her deep devotion to family, friends, faith, and love. She attended St. Peter's Elementary School and graduated from Saratoga High School before relocating to the Rhinebeck/Kingston area in 1970, where she spent the next 55 years crafting a life centered around her loved ones. Mimi was happiest when surrounded by her family during visits to Saratoga, family reunions, weddings, and holidays. Even when apart, she stayed connected through her legendary skills in letter writing and her dedication to communicating through holiday cards. She was also active on social media, where she would connect via texts and Facebook.

Mimi drew immense joy and strength from her faith. Her warmth, resolve, and unwavering devotion to her family left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her, ensuring that she will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

The last decade of Mimi's life was spent at the Kirschner House in Kerhonkson, NY, where she received compassionate care through the Cerebral Palsy of Ulster County. Her family is profoundly grateful to the dedicated staff for their respect and kindness and extends special thanks to Bonetta Brown, affectionately called "Bea" by Mimi. Bea's encouraging and positive personality greatly contributed to Mimi's confidence and independence.

Mimi's legacy continues through her siblings and their spouses: Lee and Robin Roohan of Castleton, NY, Bridget and Peter Annulli of Granby, CT, Alice and John Sherman of West Hartford, CT, Patrick and Marian Roohan of Saratoga Springs, NY, and Kathy and Jerry Jerome of Saratoga Springs, NY. She is also survived by her beloved nieces and nephews—Wendi, Erin, Jimmy, Emily, Katy, Sean, Andrew, Charlie, Amanda, Matthew, Mary Grace, and Jeanne—as well as her cherished great-nieces, nephews, and many cousins.
