Mary E. Hallman

She grew tired. While she didn’t want to leave her friends and family here, Mary longed to be reunited with her son, Edward Kroh; granddaughter, Jennifer LoCrasto; father and brother, Bernard Wirth Sr. and Jr.; beloved husband, Norman; and dear companion, Lady.

Mary departed her physical body on June 7, 2011 at the age of 77 years, following a long illness. In life she was a loving, kind, and giving person who thought always of others before herself. She learned grace and forgiveness through the many trials in her life, and in turn gave love to so many others who will sorely miss her.

Mary leaves behind her children: Susan Kroh and Paul Kroh; grandchildren: Heather LoCrasto, Paul Kroh III, Zachary Jones, and Andrew Kroh; and stepchildren Brenda Buchman, Rebecca Cooper, Suzanne Heritage, and David Hallman and their families.

Interment is private. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Mary’s life at a Memorial Service at Stelton Baptist Church in Edison on Saturday, June 25, 2011 2:00 pm. All are welcome to briefly share their memories at the service and an informal repast will follow service.

Flowers are welcome, but in the spirit of Mary’s giving attitude through life, donations are also suggested to COPD research, cancer research, Somerset Medical Center, or Stelton Baptist Church.
