She Passed Away After A Golf Cart Accident, Leaving Behind A Two-Month-Old Daughter
32-year-old Mary Elizabeth Blasetti was a mom living in Annapolis, Maryland, along with her husband and two-month-old little girl.
On November 9th, at around 7:24 in the evening, police officers with the Anne Arundel County Police Department made a call to the 600 block of Maid Marion Hill located in Annapolis.
The Anne Arundel County Fire Department requested that the officers assist them in helping an injured woman.
“A preliminary investigation revealed that Mary Blasetti had sustained life-threatening injuries in an incident involving an E-Z-GO golf cart,” the Anne Arundel County Police Department explained in a press release.
Mary was not the driver of the golf cart at the time of the crash – a 32-year-old woman from Crownsville, who has not been identified, was the one behind the wheel.
Authorities went on to say that Mary was airlifted to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
Sadly, Mary passed away from her injuries sustained in the golf cart accident on Monday, November 11th.
Speaking to WJZ News, part of CBS, Justin Mulcahy, who’s a part of the Anne Arundel County Police Department, provided more information on the incident.
“It appears at a certain point they hit some sort of a dip, and at that point, that passenger was ejected from that golf cart or thrown from the golf cart,” he explained.

“This is an extremely tragic, unfortunate situation,” Mulcahy said. “Our hearts go out to everyone impacted, and we’re going to continue investigating it with the State’s Attorney’s Office to determine what exactly happened here.”
While authorities are investigating, it does seem that the crash was truly an accident. A GoFundMe page has been created to help Mary’s family, and it has since raised $318,602.
“Mary Beth brought joy to so many and had a wide community of friends and family who are devastated by her sudden passing,” Olivia McKenna wrote on the GoFundMe page.
“She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her. Nick and Mary Beth had recently purchased their first home in Annapolis, Maryland, and welcomed their beautiful 2-month-old daughter in September.”
“Nick and Mary Katharine will have plenty to navigate over the course of the next few months, so we’d like to soften that burden by helping them financially. Please consider donating to Nick & MK; any contribution will be greatly appreciated.”
Mary attended the University of West Virginia and was part of the WVU Alpha Phi sorority. On Facebook, the WVU Alpha Phi House Corporation Board shared, “Sisters, we have some very sad news. Mary Beth Blasetti (Devitt), a fall 2010 Beta Iota, passed away in a tragic accident over the weekend.”
