Born March 21, 1946, in Beaver Falls, Pa., she is the daughter of the late Telesfor and Wanda (Mujwit) Narkiewicz. A lifelong member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish, Holy Family Church, Mary found comfort and strength in her Catholic faith.

Mary was a proud graduate of Geneva College, earning her degree in Psychology in 1968. She went on to dedicate her career to helping others as a social worker at the former Friendship Ridge, where her compassion and caring nature made a difference in the lives of those she served.

Above all else, Mary's greatest joy was her family. She treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable happiness and pride. The love she had for them was at the center of her life, and the memories they shared will be cherished always.
