Obituary
Mary Shereba (nee Pondok), 98, peacefully passed away on Good Friday, March 29, at Harlee Manor Nursing Home in Springfield, PA.
She was predeceased by her husband John, sisters Anna, Irene, and Jean, brothers Alex, Michael, Stephen, and William, and parents Stephan Pondok and Lucy Tatusko Markiew.
In her early years, she worked at the Irving Worsted wool mill in Chester, then later, until she was 80, at the Holiday Inn in Essington, PA, as a maid. She lived in Eddystone, PA, on her own, until 2 1/2 years ago. Her favorite pastimes were crocheting, knitting, and ceramics.

Her kind spirit and gentle warmth were foundations for her family and inspirations to those she touched. She saw everything through an enthusiastic and optimistic lens, making for countless wonderful memories that will be cherished forever.
