Martha (Moynahan) McMahon

Martha Anne Moynahan Devoted Grandmother and Loyal Friend Martha Anne Moynahan McMahon of Needham, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2021. Born on May 2, 1945 in Springfield, Massachusetts, Martha was the youngest of five children of District Attorney Stephen A. and Irene Doherty Moynahan of Longmeadow, MA. Her childhood was filled with happy memories of summers at Old Lyme Shores, civic engagement through the local and national political activities of her family and lots of music and song. Everyone knew the “Moynahan Sisters.” When their older brother Stephen enrolled at Georgetown, the Moynahan girls followed and took Trinity College and Washington, D.C. by storm. A member of the Trinity Chimes, her college acapella group, Martha shared her incredible singing talent at concerts and performances at political events, in the basement of The 1789, and at venues throughout the city. She recorded an album titled “Softly” and shared her lifelong love of music and art with her children and grandchildren.
