Mary Stofanak Obituary Mary T. Stofanak, a cherished figure of warmth and resilience, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2024, at St. Lukes Hospice in Lower Saucon Township, Pennsylvania, at the age of 90. Born on April 10, 1934, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Mary was the beloved daughter of the late Julius and Mary (Olsavsky) Nagy. Mary was the beloved wife of William F. Stofanak, sharing 58 years of marriage until his passing on July 3, 2012. Mary's legacy is lovingly carried on through her devoted children: Mary Rose Szutar and her husband Daniel of Bethel, DE; William Stofanak and his wife Susan of Bethlehem; Martin Stofanak and his wife Diane, also of Bethlehem. She was the proud and adored grandmother to 10 grandchildren and was blessed with the joy of 23 great-grandchildren, whose lives are imbued with her kindness and spirit. She is also survived by her sister, Helen Perreault, and her husband George of Montreal. Mary was predeceased by her siblings, John, Annie, and Mary Nagy, her granddaughter, Mary Jo McCarthy, and her grandson, Robert McCarthy, whom she now reunites with her in the peace of eternity. Mary's professional life was marked by her role as a Supervisor and Quality Control expert at A&H Bathing Suit Firm, where her meticulous attention to detail and managerial acumen were held in high esteem. Her colleagues remember her as a pillar of support and a fountain of sage advice, always delivered with a smile that could light up the room. A devout member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bethlehem, Mary's faith was a cornerstone of her life. It was the lens through which she viewed the world and the wellspring of her boundless compassion. Mary's interests were a reflection of her love for the simple joys of life. An avid knitter, she created countless sweaters, scarves, and blankets, each stitch a token of her love. Her sewing was not only a pastime but a way to keep her family wrapped in comfort. In the kitchen, Mary's baking was legendary; her recipes are cherished heirlooms that will continue to sweeten family gatherings for years to come. The beauty of her garden was the result of her nurturing touch, a vibrant showcase of her connection to nature and her fondness for the outdoors.
