Marjorie Mulligan Pacelli also has a birthday today. Marjorie, born in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Her late parents are Kathleen Agnes Riley (1989-1988) and William Francis Mulligan (1886-1970).

Marjorie grew up in Foxborough, attending local schools, and graduating from Foxborough High, after having had a very successful academic career. She was the étoile of the French Club, and was a member of the Yearbook Club all through school.

Marjorie has two sisters, the late Connie Welch (1924-2020) and Janet Cushing, and a brother, the late William Russell Mulligan (1921-2005). 

In July of 1948, Marjorie married Alfred J. Pacelli (1925-2017) at St. Mary’s Church in Foxboro, MA. They had four children: David, Richard, Christopher and Jennifer. Al passed away on Jan. 25, 2017 while living on the Cape.

We wish Marjorie a Happy Birthday!

Another Birthday Shout-out January 14th*

Paula Mulligan Kostycz, daughter of Margaret Ernestine Riley (1910-1989) and Walter Francis Xavier Mulligan (1906-1957), has a birthday today. Paula is living in southwest Florida, where today’s expected temperature will be about 73 degrees and the skies partly sunny. I’d say that’s just about perfect birthday weather.

Paula is the third born of the four Mulligan siblings. Her sisters are Judy (1938-1962), and Martha, and she has one brother, Kevin. Then, there was that man from Chicago, John Kostycz, who sadly passed away last July. Paula and John had been married for over 50 years.

I recently discovered a photo of Paula and John dancing away at Kathy and my wedding, which is posted below

Happy Birthday, Paula!
