Mary was my teacher at Steubenville Big Red back in 1975. I have kept in touch with her over the years. She was the inspiration in my life and I will miss her dearly. Mary was a wonderful person and helped so many other people in need. She's touched my heart and led my life in the right direction. Chuck, I haven't seen you in a few years.. hope you remember me. I'm the twin that used to come to your house and visit. God Bless and Take Care.

Mary will be missed my all. She was a special friend of mine and my two children called her Grandma Mary. My family also know who I am talking about when I say Grandma Mary. Mary would always attend business education meeting with me and we had so much fun and we even attended the meeting. I will alway remember the light she had in her window at their home in Wintersville. She was a great person and I will miss her a lot.

Just two weeks ago my daughter and I were looking through old photographs and found a �prom� picture of my husband and I taken with Mary and Chuck�..we were chaperones at a Big Red prom. Mary was a wonderful person and always made me laugh. I can remember many dinners out with her and even a trip on the Gateway Clipper in Pittsburgh�.besides teaching together for a few years. She is memorialized at my home with a potato recipe she brought to one of our monthly pot luck dinners, it involves shredded potatoes and whipping cream, I never knew its true name, we just call them Mary Mac potatoes�..they are yummy! Mary will be missed by many. My sympathy to her family.

I taught with Mary at Steubenville Big Red for many years. She was always a delightful person to be with, and I loved talking with her. She always seemed interested in whatever anyone had to say. Mary was always interested in my husband's predictions for snow days. I am so glad that I got to see her this summer. She will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cathy Weber

Dear Chuck and Family, I was very sad to read of your mother's passing.In the many years that I have been in business, a few customers have become more than just customers. They have become friends as well. I consider your parents to be in that group. I regret that I was unable to see during the last few days, but be assured that my thoughts were with you. Your parents were wonderful and kind people who will be missed by the entire community. Sincerely, Jeff Copeland

I am so sorry to hear of Ms. McConnell's passing. I believe she was my dad's cousin (Wilson "Loudy" Loudenslagel, Bellevue) and a friend of my mother's, Esther Mary Theibert Loudenslagel (Sandusky)...
