Mary was born in Cincinnati, OH in June of 1933. Mary was raised in a large family, she spoke of and passed on morals and values including a strong work ethic and her love of God. Mary enjoyed spending time with her family, talking about their goals, encouraging and offering advice. Mary never knew a stranger and had a loving and caring heart; she took great pride in being able to help others. She was involved in charities by sending donations to Veterans, Animal Charities, St. Jude’s, and others. Mary enjoyed playing bingo and cards with her friends and sitting outdoors on sunny days.

Mary retired from US Shoe Corporation and settled comfortably into her retirement by spending time with her friends and family. She enjoyed shopping, going to the casino with her friends, watching movies, and going out to eat at her favorite steak houses. Mary looked forward most to accompanying her son and daughter in law on vacations to many different destinations.

Mary’s family would like to extend a special thanks to her great grandson Jackson’s mother Alex Kraus for all her hard work at Norwood Towers, the facility, and their staff, including Crossroads Hospice. They assisted the family during this difficult time and took very good care of Mary. Most important, Mary was more comfortable knowing Alex was there, and felt loved and cared for by seeing her regularly.

Visitation will be held Friday, December 9th, 2022, from 11:00am until time of service at 12:00pm at Radel Funeral Home, 650 Neeb Road, Cincinnati, OH 45233.
