Member of St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church, Nanty Glo. Mary's life was her children. To us, she was the greatest mom ever. Before Mary became sick, she was always cooking and baking for her family. She loved to! She also enjoyed doing search and find puzzle books, watching her soaps on TV and the Steelers. Before her husband passed away, Joe and Mary spent all their time together. They were the love of each others lives. Mary also loved the Lord and felt very bad when she could no longer attend church due to her health. She never went to bed without saying her prayers, and praying for her family and friends. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Bowser-Ondriezek Funeral Home, Nanty Glo, where Parastas will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
