Mary N. McWreath

Boardman – Mary N. McWreath, 76, of Boardman and formerly of Vienna, passed away on Thursday morning, October 2, 2025 at home surrounded by loved ones.

Mary was born on August 14, 1949 in Pittsburgh, PA, a daughter of Florence and John Rethage.

She completed her high school education in Pennsylvania and began her nursing career as an LPN in 1983.

Outside of work, Mary found joy in life’s simple pleasures—whether it was a trip to the casino, a night of bingo, a full day of shopping, or an evening out with friends. She loved listening to oldies, cheering on her beloved Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins, and filling every room with her spirited personality. Though full of spice, Mary loved deeply and had a tender heart, especially for her cherished Yorkie, Kaden (also known as her favorite child). Above all, she treasured her family, always putting them first and savoring every moment spent together. Mary’s love, laughter, and light will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

After a life devoted to her family, Mary has gone home to be with the Lord, where she now joins hands once more with her beloved husband, Larry. Their love story continues in eternity, together again as they were always meant to be. 

She will be remembered by her children, Larry J. McWreath of Liberty and Valarie (David) Langenheim of Boardman; grandchildren, Larry J. McWreath Jr., Tabitha (Zachery) Vitko and Kevin (Bailee) McWreath; great grandchildren, Willow, Owen, Lukas and Claire. She was preceded in death by her dear siblings, Florence Wilding and Donald Rethage. Left to cherish her memory are her brothers, Joe (Sandy) Rethage, Chris (Mary Jane) Rethage, David Rethage; and sister Nancy (Rocky) Hill and many other nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends.

Family and friends may visit and pay tribute to Mary on Sunday, October 5, 2025 from 2 to 5pm at the Peter Rossi & Son Memorial Chapel of Warren, 1884 North Road NE.

A Funeral Service will follow at the funeral home at 5pm.
