Mary Theresa Carroll Freeman, age 87, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2019 at Saddleback Memorial Hospital in Laguna Hills, CA. She was born in Chicago, Illinois to John and Estelle Carroll.
Mary was proud of her years working at North American Rockwell during the time of the Apollo and space shuttle programs.
Later she worked for the Orange County Courts until her retirement.
She was a 35-year resident of Orange County and lived the past 20 years in Laguna Woods.
Mary was very independent and active until the very end.
She was a competitive Lawn Bowler and member of Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling club where she made many friends.
Mary also enjoyed traveling, participating in her son’s football pool and playing cards.
Family was always the most important thing to Mary and she always put her children first throughout her life.
Mary was a very proud and patriotic American.
Above all she was a dedicated and loving mother.
Mary is survived by sons Mark (Elizabeth), Jeff (Pam), Guy and Michael, daughter Elizabeth Freeman Grieve, and nieces Kayla Stewart and Helen Wonner.
She was the grandmother to seven (Tyler, Katie, William, Madison, Charles, Matthew and Ryan) and to four great- grandchildren (Dempsey, Ivy, Taylor and Oona).

Dearest Colleen, We loved you deeply and will miss you daily. Lucky us, we have so many wonderful memories of you. You were our matriarch and shared so many family stories with us. Now it’s time for you to rest and get the sleep which eluded you for so long. Rest in peace, dearest aunt.

Mom,
I will always remember the loyalty and commitment to all of us as children growing up in a time that we were too young to realize the difficult road that you had to walk and yet you did so without any of us not having opportunities to enjoy our youth.
The Lord created you as a special person and Mother, I’ll do my best to honor you in the rest of my days.
Love you always,
Jeff
