It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved friend and team member, Mary Ellen DeFelice. She left this world peacefully on January 15, 2026, surrounded by her family who adored her, after a brief but courageous struggle. Our hearts are truly broken. Mary Ellen was the definition of a consummate professional-graceful, dedicated, and endlessly kind. Her dazzling smile and vibrant personality lit up our office every single day. She had a rare gift for making even the most anxious patient feel safe and welcomed. Her presence transformed the ordinary into something warm and human. When you see a beautiful smile, think of Mary Ellen. Carry her light forward. Keep her memory alive in your heart. We have lost a beautiful soul far too soon, and she will be deeply missed.
