Mary Anne
90, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2021, after a two year battle with Myasthenia Gravis, surrounded by loving family in Santa Cruz, CA.

Mary loved her husband and daughters, and her grandchildren were the light of her life. She was devoted to those she loved and would do anything for them. She will be missed deeply by family and friends.
Mary was preceded in death by her loving husband of 56 years Boris M. Mehoff; her parents, Akim and Karenfilka Stavroff, and her sister, Sophie Y. Stavroff. She is survived by her daughters, Julie Bodnar (Mark), Karen Mehoff, Sky, Marsha Mehoff and her grandchildren, Marissa Bodnar, Bo Bodnar, Jazz Monde and Centari Monde.

She was my kindergarten teacher, and taught me to love school! I had no idea of her passing until now, as I was looking back at the better of my childhood memories.
She was a kind-hearted woman. My condolences to her loved ones and family. May her memory be eternal.
