Mary Florence (Carlino) Bourne

Mary Florence Bourne passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on May 10th at the age of 97. Mary was born on April 17, 1925 to Victoria and Peter Carlino in the Mission District of San Francisco. She met the love of her life John “Jack” Bourne when they were both students at St. Peter’s Academy. Mary and Jack were married shortly after graduating from high school and stayed in the Mission to raise their four children Mary, Jack, Ed, and Peter. A devout Catholic, Mary spent many hours volunteering at St. Peter’s Parish School and in later years at St. Robert’s Parish in San Bruno. Being a very social person, she loved going out to lunch and playing cards with her friends, and spending time with her family including her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. After moving to Shelter Creek in San Bruno Mary became involved in organizing many of the social events held there. She especially loved the potluck dinners, Friday night socials and calling bingo. Mary was a loving and generous person and was always willing to give a hand to those in need. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Deacon John Bourne, grandson John Bourne, daughterin-law Marcia Bourne and great grandson Aidan Bourne. She is survived by her daughter Mary Kingshill (Tom), and sons Jack, Ed (Nancy), Peter Bourne and foster son Damian Bastasini (Sharon), grandchildren Tom Kingshill, Mollie,Megan, Michael, Joseph, Philip, and Peter Bourne and great grandchildren Torin Kingshill, Damian, Ethan, Rowan, Jaquilyn, Joaquin, Dugald, and Nina Bourne, Catherine, Niall and Niamh O’Kane. The Bourne family would like to express our gratitude to the staff of Westborough Royale for the tender and loving way they cared for Mom during her years there especially as her health declined and to the hospice nurses who gently assisted her in her final days.
