Mary Pethick
October 30, 1942 — July 29, 2015
Mary B. "Libby" Pethick (nee Bradbury), age 72, of Dunwoody Village, Newtown Square, PA, formerly of Chesterbrook, PA, passed away on July 29, 2015. Born in Hollywood, CA, she was the daughter of the late Dave E. and Eleanor Bradbury (nee Miles).
Libby was a proud graduate of Mount Holyoke College, receiving a BA degree in physiology in 1964. She was an enthusiastic supporter of the college and had a wonderful time at her 50th Reunion in 2014. She also received an MS degree from Hahnemann University. Libby spent most of her professional life in pharmaceutical development, working for several companies in that field and retiring from AstraZeneca, with brief diversions into hospital management and sales of medical equipment and Scandinavian furniture.
Libby was devoted to her family and greatly enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. She was also an avid gardener and volunteered regularly at Jenkins Arboretum. Libby traveled frequently for business and pleasure, and continued traveling after retirement, especially enjoying trips to England, Denmark, and Sweden.
Libby is survived by F. Laurence "Larry" Pethick, her beloved husband of 47 years, her loving children Amy L. Pethick (Eric Graves) and Edward B. "Ned" Pethick (Mary Jean), her grandchildren Molly, Ryan and Nora, and her siblings Ruth Asmus and David Bradbury (Jill).
The family invites relatives and friends to a Memorial Service on Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 2 PM at the First United Methodist Church of Germantown, 6001 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19144. Interment will be private.
The family requests honoring Libby Pethick by donating blood to the American Red Cross, or by contributing to Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA 01075, or to Jenkins Arboretum, Devon, PA 19333.
