Mary V. Demjanovich, 99, resided in Swoyersville all her life, having been born there, and a resident of Saint Therese Residence, Wilkes-Barre, passed into eternal life on Good Friday morning, April 19, 2019, at Saint Therese Residence.

Born on September 16, 1919, in Swoyersville, Mary was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary (Hardish) Demjanovich.

Mary was a graduate of the former Swoyersville High School, Class of 1936.

Prior to her retirement, Mary was employed for nearly 50 years as an office manager for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, at their Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming locations.

A faithful Catholic, Mary had a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and her cousin, the beatified Blessed Miriam Teresa Demjanovich, from Bayonne, New Jersey. She was a lifelong member of the former Holy Trinity Church, Swoyersville, where she was a past member of the church’s Altar and Rosary Society. Following the consolidation of her church, she became a member of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville.

Mary was one of two remaining  founding members of the National Ladies of Charity, and was also the founding member of the local chapter of the Ladies of Charity, holding every office in the local chapter. Over the years, she traveled extensively with the Ladies of Charity, and most notably sponsored a visit to our local area from then Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, now styled, the Venerable Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen.

For many decades, Mary was an active volunteer at the former Valley Crest Nursing Home, Wilkes-Barre, where she was the founding member of the Valley Crest Ladies Auxiliary.

In addition to her parents, Michael and Mary Demjanovich, Mary was preceded in death by her brother, Michael J. Demjanovich; her sister, Anna H. O’Boyle; and her brother-in-law, Thomas F. O'Boyle.

Mary is survived by her nephews, Thomas O’Boyle and his wife, June, Shaftsbury, Vermont; Michael O’Boyle, Pineville, North Carolina; and Patrick O’Boyle and his wife, Margie, Phoenix, Arizona; as well as her great-nieces, great-nephews; great-great-nieces, and great-great nephews.
