Ms. Mary was an amazing woman who I have known for over 14 years. I worked for her Son Dr. Kevin Darr. Ms. Mary always loved talking about her kids and grandchildren who she absolutely adored. She will definitely not be forgotten. Cindy LeBoutillier
I offer deepest condolences to the Darr family and the rest of the family.Mary was a special, kind and wonderful woman. She always was smiling and was delighted to see you when we were with her. Nothing made her happier than being with her wonderful family to whom she was so devoted and visibly delighted with. She was a strong matriarch who raised a wonderful group of kids and grandchildren . Her life seemed full and happy to the end as evidenced by her twinkling eyes and exuberance. It was a pleasure to share time with her over the years.I know she will be missed but get leagacy will carry on - Leslie Dudley

Two of the biggest things that we remember about our Aunt Mary Elizabeth:
* First- How important her family was to her, and how very special and loved she made you feel. Telling you how much she loved seeing you and talking with you; and how she felt just like you were one of her own children. We also recall one of our cousins saying that she had such a good model of motherhood in Aunt Mary Elizabeth that she wasn’t concerned about her own abilities as she started her family… incredible praise from your own child.
* Second- How important her Catholic faith was to her. How much she cherished her trips to holy places, shrines, and churches. How happy and moved she was, that among all the incredible accomplishments of her various children & grandchildren, one had felt called by God to serve as a priest.
We honor the memory of our Aunt with a gift to the Notre Dame Seminary, a memorial Mass; and send our prayers and condolences to our cousins and families.
My sincere condolences to the Darr Family for the loss of this wonderful lady. I met Mary, when I became a school nurse with Orleans Parish schools. She was my mentor and I was able to follow her legacy at Hynes school after her retirement. I will always remember her smile and professionalism. Well done and take your rest. Nurse JM Brealy.
I didn't know Mary Darr, but I wish I had. What a beautiful wonderful woman she must have been. How fortunate all those children whose lives she touched! They will carry her in their hearts and speak her name; I'm sure of it. To my friend Mary Ann Wegmann and all her family: peace be with you.

Her leadership strength , gallantry , courage and will set a profound example for everyone in her presence. I am eternally grateful to say she was my friend. We met for lunch several times. She was so much fun and always a delight to be around. The memories of our fun times together make me stronger and fearless! She fought a great battle here on earth. God Bless Miss Mary Darr.

The Montgomery family sends you all our love and prayers. The gentle touch of Mary Darr has been a blessing, and her constant love and support of our Mom, Anne, taught us the meaning of friendship. Mary and Mom, Nurse Angels, are surely together again. We pray for their help to heal our souls.
