Mary Ellen Momburg, 91, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in Pensacola, FL.

Mary Ellen was born on February 13, 1935, in Boston, MA to Patrick Redmond O’Brien and Elizabeth Eunice Pray. As a passionate and dedicated genealogist, Mary Ellen devoted decades of her life to tracing her family’s roots. Her research led her all the way back to the Mayflower, a discovery she took great pride in. She was an honored member of both the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Mayflower Society. Through her meticulous research logs and written family histories, she preserved a priceless legacy that will be passed down for generations. Mary Ellen shared a remarkable 46-year marriage with the love of her life, Dean Momburg. Together, they built a life rooted in adventure. She was an avid Boston Red Sox fan and a loyal supporter of the New England Patriots. She loved music and dancing, especially Elvis Presley, whom she was thrilled to see in concert as a teenager. Our mom’s favorite song, “I hope you will Dance,” reflects the way she lived - never sitting life out, always choosing to dance! May we honor her by living with that same spirit.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her husband, James Dean Momburg.
