Mary G. Ehni
Mary Geraty Ehni, 57,
formerly of Glenview,
passed away on Jan. 27 in
Pittsburgh. He was born
in Glenview on Aug. 22,
1959. She was a woman
full of grace and compassion
who lived a faithful
life in service to others.
Mary was a graduate of
Regina Dominican in 1977.
Mary will long be remembered
for her unconditional
love of people in her community,
as was evident in
her dedication to the Ronald
McDonald House in
Houston. She only had to
hear a quiet “hello” in her
children’s voices to know
that her help was needed,
upon which she would immediately
rise to the occasion.
She was equally responsive
to others in need,
from the countless friends
who gratefully received
her hot meals and wit to the
clergymen and women who
she attended to while they
were ill.
Her grandchildren will
never forget her largerthan-life
spirit and her
special adventures. She
