LEE, Mass. — Mary Jacqueline (Brouker) Aldrich, 35, of Hampton Bays, N.Y., left this world on Saturday, March 23, 2019, after battling an eating disorder for many years.

Born in Pittsfield, Mass., on December 19, 1983, to Cynthia and Steven Brouker of Lee, Mass., Mary graduated from Lee High School in 2001. She attended Holyoke Community College, Berkshire Community College and Westfield State University, where she majored in criminal justice.

On June 16, 2012, Mary J. Brouker married Nicolas F.  Aldrich. They later welcomed their daughter, Olivia Rose, the light of their lives.

Mary was a fighter. She was loyal and caring, a friendly spirit, a gentle soul. Mary was full of light, danced often, marveled the ocean and most of all: she loved to laugh. Her laugh was beautiful —distinct — deep, raspy, and booming. Gloriously loud.

Mary is survived by her husband, Nicolas Aldrich, and their daughter Olivia of Hampton Bays, N.Y.; her parents, Cynthia and Steven Brouker of Lee, Mass.; her two sisters, Kristen Brouker-Botelho and her husband, Kevin, of Quincy, Mass., and Brittany Brouker of Great Barrington, Mass.; her mother- and father-in-law, Richard and Cathleen Aldrich of Lee, Mass.; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and pets whom she loved with all of her heart.

Funeral notice: A Liturgy of Christian Burial for Mary will be held on Friday, March 29, 2019, at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Church in Lee with Father Brian McGrath and Monsignor John Bonzagni officiating. Burial will follow in Pittsfield Cemetery in Pittsfield.

Calling hours will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2019, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Kelly Funeral Home in Lee. In lieu of flowers, a college fund has been established in Olivia’s name. Checks may be made payable to Olivia Rose Aldrich and sent in care of Kelly Funeral, 3 Main St., Lee, MA 01238.
