Mallory Maher

Mallory Jane Maher, 28 years of age, passed away due to a drug overdose on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, hours after her birthday. A high school honor student, Mallory was beautiful, young, and had all the potential in the world – and she had a drug addiction. Her life up until 9 years ago was filled with her love of acting, drum corps, drill team, music, singing, renaissance fairs, Halloween, holidays, playing cards, reading, writing poetry, love and laughter. Mallory graduated from Egg Harbor Twp. High School in 2003. She was in the Who’s Who of America’s High Schools all four years and in the National Honor Society in her senior year. She attended Richard Stockton College for a bit and The National Institute of Massage also for a bit. She leaves behind a Son, Aidan, who she loved dearly; and Her Mother Debbie, who was there for her through the good and the bad. Standing close by was her Mom #2 Cindie, who loved Mallory like her own. She also leaves her Father Steve Maher and Grandmother Jane Maher of Indiana, and her Grandfather Joseph Connell of Florida. She was also loved by her Aunt Mary, Uncle Bobby, Aunt Ellie, Uncle Mike, Aunt Rose, Uncle Ken, and Uncle Jim. She will be missed by her cousins RJ, Brent, Alex, Sean, Joe, Ellie, Zachary, Lauren, and Kenny. She was welcomed into heaven by her Grandfather Thomas Maher, her Grandmother, Eleanor Connell, her Aunts Patti Connell and Nancy Connell Prepsel, and her Uncle Billy and Uncle Craig. A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, February 3, 1-3 PM, at the Boakes Funeral Home, 6050 Main St., Mays Landing, where reflections will be shared at 3 PM.
