Mary Yonan Obituary

I still miss Mary every day. She was my stepmother. She was full of love and joy and brimming with optimism and a love of life and people. She openly shared her love and faith in God and Jesus to so many people along her life journey. I have never met anyone like Mary in my entire life. I have so many beautiful memories of her in my heart. She freely shared her love with others. I love reading what others have commented about Mary. We all say the same thing but in different words. What a blessing she was. I´ll see you in heaven one day.

It saddened me to find out about Mary's passing. I have many memories of her as I was growing up, and she became a role model to me. Mary gave me my first official paying job, and I remember many days of taking care of her dog Boots, and Mary's energy! I'll never forget that Mary talked as fast as she typed, and it amazed me! Mary had a heart of gold, and tried always to help everyone. My mom use to see Mary working late into the night at Wayne Electric, as mom was coming home from her job as a cleaning woman downtown. And Mary told us later that she would watch for mom to walk by when she did work so late. So many memories flooding back about one of the greatest women that walked this earth. Mary was definitely a positive role model. Now, God has called Mary home to rest.

Mary is the first Christian who befriended me. When my Dad died and put me in charge of an electric motor business I knew nothing about, God used Mary to bless me tremendously! She shared industry secrets with me. Don't fret about losing her ... she just wants you to accept Jesus as your savior and meet her on the other side of the pearly gates. Be there!

My deepest condolences to Marys family. She was a great influence in my life and I do not think I would have turned out as well as I did without her guidence,love and faith. She will be missed by all but never forgotten, especially by me.
