Mary Bednar 1931-2024

Mary was born on Nov. 30, 1931, in Campbell, to Anna Biros Bednar and Steven Bednar. She lived in Canfield for 48 years before moving to Carmel, Indiana, five years ago to be closer to her niece and her family.

She graduated from Campbell High School in 1949 with honors and worked for multiple banks in the Youngstown area in the trust department, handling the administration of trust fund assets. She retired from PNC Bank in 1997.

She leaves behind to hold onto her memory her niece, Christine, and husband, Anthony Gioia; and her two great-nephews, Zachary and Connor Gioia.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Alveretta Bednar.

She was a lifelong member of St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church in Campbell and a member of the Canfield AARP No 3104. Mary played in several bank bowling leagues and once came very close to bowling a perfect game. She also enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

A funeral liturgy will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, at Infant Jesus of Prague Byzantine Catholic Church. The family will receive friends prior to services from 9 to 9:45 a.m. Tuesday at the church.

She will be laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery in Youngstown, and will once again be reunited with all her family and friends who have gone before her for all eternity.

“Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life, and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven. Amen.”

Professional arrangements are being handled by the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Boardman-Canfield Chapel.
