Mark Plescia Obituary
1954 - 2020
Mark D. Plescia, age 66, passed away on December 1, 2020. He was born on September 23, 1954 to his parents Frank and Nancy Plescia in East Cleveland, Ohio. He was a graduate of Circleville High School and attended Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus. He enjoyed his work with the United States Postal Service, serving Columbus for 30 years until his retirement. Mark loved music and had a talent for it. He learned to play piano and quickly caught on to playing the organ, which he loved. He played for Holy Family Catholic Church and St. Edwards Episcopal Church during his life. He was also very involved in The American Guild of Organists. Serving the Lord always played a huge role in Mark's life he and was a member of St Joseph's Catholic Church at the end of his life. He was a caring and very intelligent man, with a quick wit and a hint of sarcasm. He will be missed by his family and friends. Left to mourn his passing are his parents, Frank and Nancy Plescia; his sister, Marcia Huff; his brothers, Frank (Carly) and Chris (Renee) Plescia; his nephews, Nick, Anthony and Daniel; and his niece, Maria. Visitation will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, located at 134 West Mound Street Circleville, from 11am-1pm with Mass following at 1pm on Monday, December 7. Masks are required for attendance of services. Per Mark's wishes, cremation will take place following services.

God´s presence and peace be with you, Mark´s family and friends. I just learned of Mark´s death this evening. Mark was Organist at St. Mark´s Lutheran Church (ELCA), W. 5th Ave. Short North. I was an Associate Member at St. Mark while a graduate student at OSU. Mark was an exceptional musician and his selection of preludes, hymns and postludes always connected the dots of the Bible and liturgy of each Sunday. Fine memories of Mark during my time in Columbus, 2005-2008.
