The Honor Roll

They had a half dozen kids or more. They cooked, cleaned, did mountains of laundry and mended clothes.  Kissing scraped knees, breaking up sibling rivalries and having a hug at the ready was part of their job. They instilled family values and were the heart of the family.  Here is our honor roll of All-Star South Boston Mothers. (We realize this is just the tip of the iceberg, so send us the names that we missed – [email protected])

    My wife of 5 years, Linda Glennon Leeman is truly a SOUTHIE GEM. Ask anyone!!! I am one lucky Charlestown Townie!!!!  Happy Mothers Day

  2. John Kane May 8, 2012 at 6:44 pm
    Happy Mothers Day to my great grandmother Helen Farmer, and her daughter, who is my grandmother, Helen Davenport…remarkable what they did for their kids growing up, all my relatives and I were so grateful to have these women show us their love all year round unconditionally…I love you both, and Happy Mothers Day to my mother Maryann Kane who raised both me and my twin sister Colleen as a single parent since we were 2 years old…Strong female figures in my life that are such an inspiration of what a parent should be, no matter the difficulty in life, no one went without LOVE!!!
  3. Paula Sylvester May 9, 2012 at 1:13 am

    Way to go Mom!!!!  I love you !!!!

  5. Matty McDONOUGH May 10, 2012 at 9:47 pm

    It is a wonderful feeling any time I am reminded about my sister Catty Sullivan.

    She was also an All Star Sister and Aunt. 

  6. laurie May 11, 2012 at 12:52 am

    way to go nana lavey!!! love your great grandchildren Sarah and Jack

  7. Judy McCarthy May 11, 2012 at 2:14 am
    My mom raised 7 children as a loving protective traditional mom. Dinner every night promptly at 5 (a huge meal cooked and might add a delicious meal) even though it was probably torture for her, seven kids fighting but we always left he table with a kiss to her and the comment “very good supper ma” I will forever be grateful for the values she instilled in me that I have carried on to my own family. She truly is one of a kind and definitely deserves the recognition here’s to my mom Judy ostiguy!
  8. Judy McCarthy May 11, 2012 at 10:20 am
    I agree!
  9. Heather Allen May 11, 2012 at 2:01 pm

    So happy to see my mother-in-law, Doris Allen, on the list.  She truly is one of the most wonderful women I’ve ever had the priviledge to know.  I often say, I aspire to be half the mother and woman she is.  Love you Doris!!

  10. Gina Melchione May 11, 2012 at 2:18 pm

    My mom Lynne Adams has been through so much in life & has always managed to stay strong with a smile on her face & say “I will be ok”…..She has been the most loving, caring, giving, generous mother anyone could ask for in life! If I had one wish, my wish would be for my mom to live the rest of her life HAPPY!! She has instilled in my sister, my brother & myself so many morals & values! I am so grateful for the best mom from Southie EVER!!!

  11. christileonard May 11, 2012 at 4:36 pm
    My Mom, Jane Hayden, was a warm, funny and loving Mother who loved her kids more than anything and protected us always! There isn’t a day I don’t miss her! Love u, Mom! Happy Mothers Day!
  12. John O'Toole May 7, 2013 at 5:12 pm

    Ma there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of your warm smile, loving hugs and words of encouragement.

    Not sure how you raised 6 kids after Dad passed but you did. I guess it was your faith in God and in yourself and us that got you thru it all.

    I still joke with John and Colleen when we run into a  new situation that needs  some thought and we say ” What Would Nana Do” (WWND)

    Ma the love and carring that you raised your six children has been the template for each of us to raise our own children.

    Thanks,

  13. Lovey May 7, 2013 at 6:12 pm
    Every South Boston Mom I know is great. Anyone can be a Mother but it takes someone great to be a Mom or Ma!!!!! I always love my Mama. She’s my favorite girl.
  14. Joe Itri May 7, 2013 at 9:18 pm

    Glad to see my Mom make the list. It is definately well deserved. There was never a dull moment around the Itri household. How my Mother got 9 of us up, got breakfast into us, got us dressed and off to school I’ll never know. I bet all my brothers & sisters, deep down inside, think they were her favorite. I love you Mom and Happy Mother’s Day!

  16. Ellen Carey-Felton May 8, 2013 at 12:57 pm

    Thank you so much for remembering my Mom – wish I knew who you were!

    My Mom is Margaret (Peggy) Carey and whoever knows her, knows she is simply the BEST!!! I actually wrote a story of my Mom a few years ago on here and my Mom WON Mother of the Year!! A title that she wins everyday to all 11 of her kids, she is amazing and beautiful! I am truly blessed with the Best Mom!!

    Can you please add my mother, Marie Andrews or as she was known by everyone M.A.  She was a remarkable woman.

  23. Cherylinn May 9, 2013 at 5:47 pm
    My mom, Cathy Fromm is the #1 best mother and grandmother of all time! With 4 kids of her own and 10 grandbabies, my moms house is always clean and you can’t leave without a full belly of delicious home cooking! ( she also will send you home with plenty of leftovers!) Growing up with 3 siblings was nothing but a blessing for me, I don’t know how she did it, but my siblings and I have never had a single fight and we remain ridiculously close to this day! I can always count on my mom to be there for me whenever I need her. And she has taught me one of the most important rules of life, which is her favorite saying “you get what you allow!” Thanks ma for everything you do for me and my kids! We love you to the moon and back!
  24. A mother May 9, 2013 at 6:15 pm
    I think anyone who is a Mum should be considered an All Star!
  25. Florence Logan mcdonough July 7, 2013 at 2:35 pm
    I’m one lucky woman to of had a beautiful grandmother that adopted me.
    As toddler.
    AND TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTERS.

  26. Mary Lou September 7, 2013 at 6:25 pm

    Took me right out of the hospital!    Had 12 of her own, then I was the “baby”, lucky13.   Worked cleaning houses to put me through Catholic School.   Will never forget that she took me in and did not have to, gave me a wonderful home, she has been deceased since 1973 and it seems like yesterday that I saw her wonderful smiling face.   Miss her so. 

  27. Chrissy Donoghue April 30, 2014 at 3:19 pm

  30. Pat Lavey May 1, 2014 at 10:50 pm
    Happy mothers Day to a mother who always put all eight of us first. Growing up she had a way of treating you like you were the favorite ( She would take me on the train over to Colmans in Quincy center and buy me my Adidas superstar sneakers then some lunch, just us) I loved it. I’m sure my brothers and sisters have their own story but she told me personally ( when you guys were not around ,that I was her favorite)seriously my mother made time for all of us and we are better people having her in our lives,so to you lizzy from all of us thank you for all you have done for US Happy Mothers Day ,The Laveys

  36. Debbie Griffin May 3, 2014 at 9:26 pm
    My wonderful mother Claire Connolly, who raised 10 kids. She did it all, she was there for us always. She was on the fore front when busing started. Ma stayed at home to take care of us until dad got sick, then she went to work as a waitress. She could be tough when needed, and always strong. Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mother in heaven, Claire Connolly.
  37. Coonie O'Shea-Reeves May 4, 2014 at 1:19 pm

    Even more than a Southie All Star Mother, Chickie Kennedy is an All Star Grandmother as well!  Her and my Dad, Frank Kennedy, have been there for all eight of us through many ups and downs and all-arounds.  All eight being very different, yet having the same core strength, Frank and Chickie!  Team Kennedy STRONG….
