Mary Siebenaller

On July 17, 2020, Mary joined the Communion of Saints and entered the loving arms of her savior, Jesus Christ. Born January 11, 1923, to Vincent and Rose (Silvestri) Donofrio in James City, PA, Mary was the eldest of her siblings, Rocco, Anthony, Joseph, Madeline (Huntermark), Vincent, Florence (Greco) and John Donofrio. A 1940 graduate of Morrison R. Waite High School, she began a professional career at Interstate Motor Freight System and continued on to Plexiglass, the Freeman Supply Company and later in life, to Chris’ Supper Club and Catering. She married Richard J. Siebenaller, Sr. in 1958, became a professional homemaker, and made their home in East Toledo where they raised their sons, Richard Joseph, Jr. (Mary Lou) and Robert Anthony (Teresa) Siebenaller.

The family grew to include four grandchildren, Katie and Nicholas and Daniel and Bridget. Mary is also Godmother to Sharon Ann Donofrio, Albert Huntermark, Steve Greco, Rocco Donofrio, Raymond Yoos and Jody Siebenaller.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Richard (1981); and her parents, Rose and Vincent; and siblings: Rocco, Anthony, Joseph, Madeline, Florence and John (infant). Mary lived a faith-filled life of prayer and service to St. Thomas Aquinas Church and School, Altar and Rosary Society, East Toledo Family Center and the East Toledo Senior Center. Throughout her life Mary celebrated her Italian heritage through her cooking, family, and Faith.
