​
Marie G. (Mills) McGowan, 99, of Hershey, PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on Thursday, September 24, 2020. Marie was born May 7th 1921 in Carbondale, PA. She was the daughter of Julius Palmer Mills and Elizabeth Geraldine “Knappen” Mills. She is the widow of Pennsylvania State Policeman, Richard G. McGowan, who preceded her in death in 1976.

              Her faith and her family were the two important priorities in her life. Marie, known as Grandma to all, was warm and welcoming to everyone. She’s known for saying in her typical Irish fashion, “Put an extra potato in the pot, you never know who’s coming over the mountain.” An extraordinary woman who took all things in life and made them a blessing. She was deeply involved in parish life at St. Joan of Arc Church in Hershey.
