Mary Ellin Lampe died November 17, 2015 of age related causes as a result of Alzheimer’s dis- ease. She was 87 years old. Born Mary Ellin Ma- honey on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo!), 1928, in New York City, she was the daughter of legendary Vaudeville headliner Will Mahoney and Sue Wilson, witty showgirl. Mary Ellin was of the last generation of bureau drawer babies and traveled to Paris in the arms of her Irish Nanny for her father’s opening at the Follies Bergere when she was ten days old. Mary Ellin attended Friends Academy, Locust Valley, New York, as a boarding student for twelve years. Aft er dabbling at the New School, Julliard, Columbia and the Union Th eological Seminary, and graduating from none, she became a commercial designer, spe- cializing in silk screened 36” repeat handprint textiles and wallpapers. In 1958 Mary Ellin was widowed and left New York for Cuernavaca, Mexico, with her two small sons, Bobby 4 ½ years old and Michael, 2 ½ years old. She married again four years later and had two more sons, Federico in 1962 and Patricio in 1964. Mary Ellin morphed into Maria Elena, the Mexican painter known world-wide for fi ve decades of depicting the beautiful traditions and extraordinary culture of Mex- ico. In 1985 the Mexican government declared her to be a National Treasure. Among her collectors are fi ve Presidents of Mexico: Miguel Aleman, 1946-1952, Adolfo Ruiz-Cortines, 1952-1958, Adolfo Lopez Mateos, 1958-1964, Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, 1964-1970, Luiz Echever- ria, 1970-1976 Also: Patrick Dennis, Mexico City, Mexico; Ed Sulli- van, New York City, NY; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Virginia Beach, VA; Ruth Montgomery, Naples, FL; Helen Hayes, Nyack, NY; Lloyd Pantages, Los Angeles, CA; American Embassy, Tokyo, Japan; Victor Salmones, Acapulco, Mexico; Linda Ronstadt, Tucson, AZ. During Maria Elena’s years in Mexico, she lived in the beautiful provincial city of Cuernavaca for 26 years and in the port city of Acapulco for 12 years. When her paintings were disallowed to leave Mexico, Maria left Mexico at last and settled near her families in wet Oregon, not a palm tree in sight. Although Maria Elena returned to the United States in 1994, she never stopped painting and promoting Mexico. Survivors include Maria Ele- na’s two sons and their families: Robert Feldman, his wife, Debra, their children, Kimberly and Micah; and Fred Mahoney, his wife, Karolyn, their children, Anthony and Heather and great grandson Adrian Ma- honey. Maria Elena was preceded in death by two sons; Patricio Perez Mahoney in 1964, and Michael Steven Feldman in 1973. Also four husbands; Robert (Bobby) Feldman, producer; Felix Perez Rivas, Dr. Marsh Morrison, Raymond H. Lampe. Maria Elena requests no services, just prayers.
