On January 26, 2017 Mary Sepeda transitioned peacefully at Hospice of Northwest Ohio Perrysburg. She was a woman of faith, courage, compassion, kindness, love and selflessness. She was a loving person who achieved so many rewards in life; most were through relationship she developed with her siblings, her children, coworkers and friends in the community. Mary sends out special thanks to her long time friend Pat Haynes. There's no trophy that can describe the depth of what Mary brought to many lives of her 30 plus year career at St. Vincent's Medical Center and how they benefited from being in her life or crossing paths with her. The amount of "Love" she gave in time, cooking, conversations, support and encouragements is priceless. Mary's Catholic faith is best described like a tree that has many deep roots that will continue to create new branches for years to come; as her tree will last for Eternity. Mary's eighty five years have been a gift to many and will continue to live on in the lives she touched.
Mary is survived by her sisters; Helen, Susan, Teresa; brothers, Carl and Louie; daughters, Gloria, Victoria, Elizabeth (Christina); sons, Ramon, Peter (Dawn), Paul (Diane), Robert (Diana), Rafael (Kathy); grandchildren, Eric (Stacy), Erin, Brendan (Samantha), Amy, Travis (Kayla), Nicholas (Micaela), Selina, Alexandria, Jordan, Leland; great-grandchildren, Logan, Lain, Wyatt, Eli and Grace.
