Mary Zachar passed in peace on November 18, 2023.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Ronald Zachar, and her parents, John Harry and Kathryn Lucille Lewis, her brother, John Henry Lewis, and her granddaughter, Lauren Kimberly Wolff.

Mary was a deeply faithful, warm-hearted, loving person who saw the good in everyone; always cheerful, full of laughter and smiles.  Her most precious time was spent with her family and she was sure to keep everyone close.  Through Mary, the family found a love for family, travel, camping, and animals.  She was a positive role model in everyone's life she touched and will be remembered with great love.
