Mary A. Hoyt, born April 2, 1933, passed away peacefully on December 18, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Mary was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin, and friend; whose life was rooted in faith, family, and kindness.

She was deeply loved and will be remembered for her gentle spirit, generosity, and unwavering love for those around her.

Mary is survived by her three daughters and one son: Mary Lee Bellis and her husband Bill, along with their six children, seventeen grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren; Linda
(Castelot) Cascone and her husband James, with their three children and six grandchildren; Tammie Botelho and her husband Steve, with their two children and two grandchildren; and Charlie Hoyt and his wife Kerriann, with their four children and one grandchild.

She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces: Judie Colangelo, with her two children, five grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren; Cheryl Seilhan, with her four children and nine grandchildren; Debby Crofford, with her 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren; and the many more who loved her.

Mary attended Milford High School, where she enjoyed playing half-court basketball, an early passion that stayed with her throughout her life. She remained a loyal fan of the UConn Women’s Basketball, and the New York Liberty, cheering them on with enthusiasm and pride.

A woman of deep faith, Mary loved God and cherished her family above all else. She found joy in baking and sewing, sharing homemade cookies, mittens, and scarves with those she loved.
Her treasured recipes live on in her family’s kitchens, continuing her legacy of care and tradition.

Mary’s home was a place of warmth and welcome, especially during the holidays, where family gathered, memories were made, and love was always abundant.

She was loving, kind, and endlessly giving, and her presence brought comfort to all who knew her.

Mary spent time at the Milford Senior Center Ahrens Program, where she participated in its various
programs and enjoyed being with her peers.

Mary A. Hoyt will be profoundly missed and forever remembered for the love she shared, the family
she nurtured, and the faith that guided her life.
