Mary Pernice 1925-2026

Mary was born March 22, 1925, in Erie, W.Va., a daughter of the late Sam and Mary Aiello Marra. In 1951, she and her family came to Warren.

She married the love of her life, Joseph Pernice, on Jan. 15, 1955, at St. Mary Catholic Church.

Mary had an extensive career, working for the Ohio Lamp Division of General Electric in Warren. She retired in 1985 as a filament adjuster. Outside of work, Mary was dedicated to her Catholic faith as a member of St. Pius Catholic Church, then St. Joseph Church, which then became St. Mary Church. She enjoyed shopping, dancing and dining out with her sisters. In recent years, she enjoyed watching football and cherished visits and phone calls from her family members and friends. She will be greatly missed.

Mary will always be remembered by her son, Mark (Helen) Pernice of Hanover, Pa.; grandchildren, Jeffrey (Cynthia) Pernice and Kimberly Smith; and great-grandchildren, Tanner (Jean) Smith, Mackenzie Smith and Colin Smith.
