Memories and Condolences

I have fond memories of Mary. As a young girl my mother, Julie Cichy and I would visit with Mary up at the house while my Dad and brother, Albert were fishing down at the river. I remember Mary as a woman you lived each day to the fullest.
She had a joyful spirit and tons of energy.
My sympathy to her family .

I remember Mary Chellis from when I was a young boy and she is also a distant relative. My mother, Catherine Cichy, and Mary were first cousins. They were the same age. We lived in Scranton and would often visit the Chellis farm on the river in Tunkhannock, always a great treat for city kids. Mary and her family were always welcoming, cheerful and engaging. May she rest in peace. - - Andrew Sislo (Philadelphia, PA)

I remember Mrs. Chellis from church when I was a young girl. I remember her being a wonderful woman. I graduated high school with Jimmy. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

We will fondly remember Mrs. Chellis as a woman who was always "doing" and devoting her whole self to her children and her children's children. And she could say the rosary in Polish!

With love,
Carl and Cathy Wolfson
