    3. Mary K. Griglak was born in Ellsworth, Pa. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Growing up in Perryopolis, Pa., she traveled to Slovakia at age 16, returned to California at 18 to visit her extended family, then returned to Pennsylvania to marry her lifelong love, Albert, who preceded her in death in 1965. Mary worked at the Sara B. Cochran Estate and with her husband owned and ran the Perry Bus Lines in Perryopolis, and the Cloverleaf Club off Route 51, all in Western Pennsylvania. She was a long-time member of the Slovak Catholic Sokol. Mary, 89, passed away peacefully from pneumonia surrounded by her family. The last five years of her life were joyfully spent with her family in Sumner, Washington. Mary was the embodiment of a gentle, soft-spoken, loving and ultimate Mother. Mary is survived by her children: a son, A. J.; daughters, Toni (Martin) Savol and Paula Fabela, all of Sumner, Wash.; her sister, Betty Shirgaokar, of Poway, Calif.; brothers, George and David, of San Marino, Calif.; grandchildren, Adam Fisher, (Erin), Dan Fabela and Mary Lee, Andrej and Jaroslav Savol, all of Sumner, Wash.; and great-grandson, Milo. A Memorial Mass was celebrated at Holy Family Church on Monday, Feb. 2, at 10 a.m., which would have been Mary's 90th birthday. Remembrances may be made to this church at 505 17th Ave. SE, Auburn WA 98002. Unrelated to me. Just sharing a resource. Edward DUNLEVY
