Virginia Marie MacLellan

TEWKSBURY Virginia Marie "Ginny" (McDonough) MacLellan, 87, of Tewksbury, passed away at the home she loved after a brief illness, on Monday, April 28, 2014. She was the widow of the late Allan D. MacLellan, Sr. to whom she was married for 38 years.
A daughter of the late John L. and Margaret E. (Moloney) McDonough, she was born September 9, 1926, in Lowell, and was a graduate of Saint Peter’s School, Notre Dame Academy, Class of 1944, and the Beacon Institute of Podiatry, Boston in 1947. She practiced as a podiatrist in Lowell, prior to having her family.
A longtime resident of Tewksbury, she was a daily communicant of Saint William’s Church. Ginny was very dedicated to her family members; they were her greatest joy. She was also loved by her neighbors who were so very good to her.
