Mark J. Mullooly, 53, of Rocky Hill, formerly of East Hartford, beloved son of Lorraine (Boisvert) Mullooly and the late John F. Mullooly, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 9, 2022 at his residence. Mark was born with autism and was cared for by his loving family and the most wonderful people of Connecticut's Department of Developmental Services (DDS). Born in Hartford and a lifelong resident of East Hartford and the local area, Mark enjoyed road trips with his family, listening to music, enjoying the outdoors and interacting with his caregivers. Mark's life was defined by imparting compassion, patience, love and empathy to all who had the benefit of knowing him through the years of his full and active life. Mark's
educational journey began at age six at Capitol Region Education Council's (CREC) program, Day Treatment Services, under the expert leadership of Tom Parvenski. Mark continued with CREC programs until the age of 21 years, where he was cared for by the many DDS dedicated professionals. The Mullooly family gives our deep thanks to all the staff at DDS for their care, compassion
and concern during his time with DDS.
Besides his loving mother, Lorraine, of East Hartford, Mark is survived by his sister Erin Marie (Mullooly) Krekel and her husband Vincent, of Danville, CA; a brother, Jay Mullooly and his wife Lori of Goshen, NY and their children, Mary Kate Harden and her husband
