It is with great sadness the children of Mary Kathryn Todd are making known the passing of their beloved mother. She passed at her home surrounded by her loved ones on January 10 at 96 years of age. "Kotty," as she was affectionately called by her family, was born March 25, 1926, in East Palestine, OH to James Stewart and Mildred Slusser Stewart.
Mary Kathryn graduated in 1944 after attending high school at both East Palestine and Lisbon. She received her license as an R.N. after attending nurse's training at East Liverpool City Hospital in 1947. Her passion was nursing, especially obstetrics where she helped with the deliveries of 378 babies. Later she worked in the office of Dr. Bill and Dr. Fred Banfield in East Liverpool, OH.
She enjoyed traveling the country and her many stays at Geneva on the Lake. Mary loved being outdoors around flowers, especially violets and daffodils, and instilled her love of nature in her children and grandchildren. She was also fond of dogs, particularly her Rosie girl.
She became a Jehovah Witness in 1974 and faithfully attended the New Springfield congregation.
She is proceeded in death by her husband, Homer "Sonny" Todd, her brother, Donald Stewart, her sister, Sally Stewart and her grandson, David Kale.
