Marie E. Plant 1967-2026

She was born Oct. 15, 1967, in Warren, to the late Leslie Eugene Grimes and Amelia Marie Carl Grimes.

Marie was a 1986 graduate of Niles McKinley High School and married Joseph Byran Plant on Nov. 19, 1994; together they had two sons, Jonah and Trevor Plant.

Marie worked at Macali’s Giant Eagle in Niles for more than 14 years as a meat wrapper prior to leaving in 2021 due to her cancer diagnosis. She was a faithful and dedicated saint at Evening Light Apostolic Church, where she taught Sunday school and children’s church and led the ladies’ prayer group. Marie loved the Lord, her family and people in general.

She is survived by her spouse, Joseph Plant; her sons, Jonah Plant of Niles and Trevor (Kaitlyn) Plant of Girard; her siblings, Leslie Grimes of Warren, Wayne (Karen) Grimes of Niles and Paul (Sue) Grimes of Boardman; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Enjoy life and never get too old to jump in puddles, dance in the rain, swing on a swing, be silly and love people. Life is too short for grudges.

A celebration of life service in her honor is being planned to take place at a later date at Evening Light Apostolic Church.

Arrangements are by Sample-O’Donnell Funeral Home, 555 E. State St., Sharon, Pa.
