She is predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Ethel (Tobin) Braney of Millbury; three siblings, Daniel Braney, Marion Hamilton and Michael Braney.

MaryJoan was born and lived her entire life in Millbury. She graduated from Millbury High School in 1949 from the old Center School. She was a member of the Millbury Historical Society and a lifelong parishioner of St Brigid Church in Millbury.

MaryJoan was an avid golfer and bowler, and she enjoyed knitting and sewing. She was also a crossing guard in Millbury for many years. She loved to share that she worked at Finn Crepeau's Spa in Millbury. MaryJoan also worked at Paul Revere Insurance in Worcester and Nensco in Millbury. She spent many years of her life traveling with her closest friends, Audrey Mogren, Florence Powers and Mary Kelley. She could also always be found going for coffee with the girls at Dunkin Donuts, and treasured her long telephone conversations with her friend, Rosalie. MaryJoan loved spending time with her family and looked forward to family dinner every Sunday. She was very proud of her Irish heritage and would tell everyone she met that she was Irish!

The family would like to thank all the wonderful doctors, nurses and PCAs on 36 North at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester for their amazing care and compassion of MaryJoan and her family during these last several months.
