Mary Catherine Stoner
February 6, 1927 — May 7, 2022
Mary Catherine Stoner, 95, of Lancaster, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on May 7, 2022 at the Main Street Terrace in Lancaster, Ohio.
She was born February 6, 1927 in Bremen, Ohio, the daughter of Jess and Eva Stoner. She was a devoted servant of the Lord, having been church treasurer for several decades and headed up many mission projects as a lifelong member of the Bremen Calvary United Methodist Church.

That is when she helped to start the Bremen Food Pantry that she volunteered with for over 20 years. She was a gifted quilter, making hundreds of quilts and other handiworks. She taught quilting even into her eighties.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Laura Adamson, Pauline Harris and Thelma (Robert) Lacey; brothers, Raymond (Mildred) and Frederick (Irene) Stoner; and especially close nephew, Brian Lacey.
