Mary Catherine Mallon

June 18, 1928 - February 23, 2011

Mary C. Mallon passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday February 23, 2011 following a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Mary was born in Toledo on June 18, 1928 to Roland and Margaret (Kilduff) Winkler. Affectionately known to friends and family as “Winkie,” Mary attended Central Catholic High School where she met the love of her life, Joe Mallon. Mary and Joe were married on Nov. 24, 1949, and enjoyed 60 wonderful years together. Mary enjoyed sewing, knitting, gardening, and reading, but her primary interest was her family. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, and sisters Joanne Martin and Ellen Reisig. She is survived by her brother, Owen Winkler, and her children Mary Anne (Dave) Borer, Tim (Cindy), Pat (Marian), and Meg (Charlie) Sears. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Her family and friends will miss her ever present smile, sparkling eyes, quick wit, and sweet personality. Mary's family members would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Sunset Village for their loving care.
