Mary A. West, 76, of 427 N. Washington St., Carthage died Saturday morning, July 6, 2019 at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse.

Mary was born on August 25, 1942 in Carthage, the daughter of the late William and Elizabeth Downing Brady. She was a 1962 graduate of Carthage Central High School. Mary worked in Syracuse until returning home to provide comfort to her parents and later raising her family. She was united in marriage to David E.

Mary was devoted to her family and loved watching her daughters bowling and soccer games. She thoughtfully sent birthday wishes to those she loved.

West of Carthage, two daughters: Rose West of Watertown and Elizabeth Stevens and son in law, Sayre Stevens of Watertown, two grandchildren, Eleanor and Benjamin Stevens of Watertown, a sister: Rose Brady of Watertown and a brother: Joe Brady of Carthage and numerous nieces and nephews.
