Mary Martha Yee

Cincinnati - Mary Martha Yee, age 80, passed away peacefully in her home on Sunday, July 5, 2020. Beloved wife of the late Benjamin Yee, loving mother of Jennifer (Erick) Greber, Michelle (Matt) Louis, Ann (Rebecca) Yee, Ben (Heather) Yee, Will (Jenna) Yee. Cherished Grandma to Gracie, Jack, Nick, Will, Kai, Evie, Quinn and Keagan. Dear sister of Barb (late Joe) Williams, Jeanne (Jim) Frede, Dick (Barb) Naltner, late Miriam Naltner, sister-in-law of Hope (Maurice) Lee, late Joseph (Catherine) Yee, late William Yee. Also survived by many fantastic nieces, nephews and wonderful friends.

Marty was a graduate of Seton High School and Mount St. Joseph. She proudly served as a nurse during the Vietnam War, honorably discharged from the US Navy with a rank of Lieutenant. Her last duty assignment was the USS Breckinridge. After leaving the service, she continued to dedicate her life to caring for others. As a nurse she served at multiple hospitals and health agencies throughout the city. As a community leader she was involved with youth groups, scouts, St. Ignatius parish and her children's schools. Together with Ben, Marty participated in charitable work throughout the city such as Meals on Wheels. In her last 20 years, her passion was focused on her role as a caregiver for her husband, and her work with Stephen Ministry at St. Ignatius.

Throughout her 80 years on this earth, she influenced the lives of countless others, breaking down barriers, and always standing up for what she thought was right. She was generous to everyone, the first person to jump up to help, a gutsy lady, outspoken, fearless, and loving above all else.

Due to COVID, a 'Car Procession Memorial' will be held on Tuesday, July 14th from 9am - 10:30am at St. Ignatius Loyola Church, 5222 North Bend Road, 45247. A Car Procession Memorial is an opportunity for those to pay their respects while remaining in their cars. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Cincinnati or the military organization of your choice.

Marty was an incredibly kind person. She would bring me a 2 pack of 40 ounce jars of JIF peanut butter a couple of times a month and request that I pass them on to a large family in need through my work with St Vincent DePaul. The families were always so appreciative. Without her help, some kids would have gone hungry.

Marty was a wonderful Stephen Minister. Her knowledge and professional background helped her to be an enormous help to those she served. Her devotion to Ben was an example for all of us. I am really going to miss her.

Unfortunately I never had the pleasure to meet Mary. But what I can tell you, is what a beautiful Child of God she was because of all the beauty, love and joy that came from her precious daughter Jenny, and grandchild Gracie. I don't know the rest of the family to comment on them, but I know Jenny, and how much she loved her parents, loves her sisters and brothers, daughter and husband. To be the person she is, her parents certainly blessed her with a life full of God's love and joy. Linda Kraft
