She is survived three sons, Frederick and Roberta Poklemba, Deposit, Michael and Teresa Poklemba, Lisle, and Charles and Shelley Poklemba, Aurora; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She is predeceased by her loving husband, George Poklemba, Jr.; her two sons, Martin Poklemba and George Poklemba, III and her daughter, Delores Darrow. Mary worked for many years at E.J. and that is where she met her love, George. She was a member of the Holy Rosary Church in Maine, NY. Mary enjoyed square dancing with George. Mary was well-known for homemade soup on Sundays and Kolache cookies during the holidays. If you stepped into her kitchen, it was your fault if you left hungry.
