The Memorial Celebration of Life and Reception of Mary McHenry, Alumnae, Playwriter, Professor Emeritus of English at Mount Holyoke College will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 2:00pm in Abbey Chapel at 2pm following reception in Willits-Hallowell at 3:00pm.

The award-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks '85 was a student of hers and now names McHenry as a reason for her success.
