Mary Marmolejo Jones

Mary Marmolejo Jones, age 52, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 24, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Kettering, Ohio to Manuel and Rafaela Marmolejo. Her father preceded her in death.

Mary was a graduate of Meadowdale High School and had attended Chaminade Julienne High School. As a child, she participated in folkloric dancing with the Hispanic Brotherhood Center of Dayton. She worked at Johnson Electric for a number of years until her health was compromised.

Raised in the Catholic Faith, Mary was a member of Corpus Christi Church as a child. As a young person she participated in the Dayton Hispanic Ministry where she grew to love The Virgin Guadalupe. This past year she was attending Our Lady of Grace Church.

She was the mother of one daughter, Cathleena, whom she loved spending time with. Mary shared her love of Disney with her and was excited to take her to Disney World with Michael on several occasions. Mary snorted when she laughed and had a smile that was contagious. Her sense of humor was definitely unique. The doctors and nurses soon caught on to her style of humor and enjoyed being with her while helping her as a patient.

Mary had a special place in her heart for those she loved, especially her nieces and nephews. She also loved animals, her own and even the stray cats that showed up at the house. Although Mary struggled with her health this past year, she always found time to get a manicure. During this time, she could just relax and be a lady.

Mary leaves to cherish her memory, her loving family, daughter, Cathleena, mother, Rafaela, brothers, Jose (Patricia), Marco (Leona) and Victor (Guadalupe). niece Alyssa (Richard), nephew David, great niece, Amara, great nephews, Kortez and Ricardo, sister-In-law, Vicky and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends.

Visitation will be held from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 7, 2024 at Newcomer Funeral Home, North Chapel, 4104 Needmore Road, where the funeral service will begin at 12:00 pm.
