Obituary
LaValley
Mary Ann
The Lord welcomed Mary Ann (nee Chytil ) LaValley into Heaven on December 23, 2014,
surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Monroe, MI on December 30, 1929 to Julius and
Antoinette Chytil. Growing up in Monroe, she was the youngest of 8 children. She met the love
of her life, Richard G. LaValley, whom she married on August 19, 1950.
Mary Ann was the matriarch of a large loving family. She was most gratified by supporting and actively participating in all aspects of her children and grandchildren's educational and sports endeavors. Along with her husband, Richard, together they fulfilled their passion for supporting numerous religious, educational and medical community organizations to improve and offer their blessings to those in need. She enjoyed baking Czech pastries with her sisters and daughters, dancing with her beloved husband and relaxing in their Florida home. Her laughter, sense of humor and one-of-a-kind "mom-isms" will be missed immensely. Although everyone that knew her instantly became enamored by her kind personality, her greatest joy and focus was truly her unending love and devotion to her husband, children and grandchildren.
Her parents; 1 sister; 5 brothers; and one grandson, Jake Thornton preceded her in death.
Surviving are her husband of 64 years, Richard; children, Dianne (Bob) Tankoos, Toni (Robert Weinberg) LaValley, Debra (Philip) Gross, Richard G. Jr.(Robin), Daniel J. (Kristine), Laurie (John) Thornton and Elaine (Bradley) Lewandowski; grandchildren, Robert (Erin), Daniel G. (Colleen) and Ashlee Tankoos, Julie and Zach Weinberg, Nicholas, Christopher (Natalie) Fadel, Kelli (Drew) Mossman, Richard G.III, Elizabeth, Jessica, Michael and Henry LaValley, Daniel R., Brian, Kelsie and Ana LaValley, Alyssa (Jake Reiter) Ryan (Heidi) and Gabrielle Thornton, Rebecca (William) Sinkey, Adam, Aaron and Katelynn Lewandowski; great grandchildren, MJ, Hudson, Brooke, Makayla, Taylor and Reagan; and sister, Betty Tilheka.
Vistation will be held Friday, December 26 at the Foth-Dorfmeyer Mortuary, 3815 Sylvania Ave. (at Woodley Rd.) from 3-8 p.m. with the Rosary recited at 7 p.m. with a sharing of memories thereafter. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, December 27 at St. Joseph Catholic Church at 1 p.m.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the NW Ohio Scholarship Fund and Hope Learning Academy of Toledo, C/O 5800 Monroe St., Bldg F, Sylvania, OH 43560
