Mary CHAFIN Obituary

(Neises) Parnell. She is preceded in death by her father and grandson Miles. Mary is survived by her loving husband of 32 years, Gary, her mother Gayle of Woodlawn, KY,

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Mary Helen. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Church, work, kids, baseball… Mary Helen built lifelong friendships in every aspect of her life. The only thing she might have loved more than her family and friends are her furry children. Mary Helen was an avid animal lover; whose heart was too big to ever turn away a stray. The people (and pets) that came in contact with Mary Helen are truly lucky to have been blessed by her presence. The only regret Mary Helen would leave this Earth with is not having more time on the beach with her partners in life, Gary and Marcus, living out life at Casa Chiweenie.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2022, from 9:00-11:00 AM at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 753 S.
