Mary Summers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 2 to May 6, 2021.
Summers, Mary 5/29/1956 - 4/28/2021 Ann Arbor Mary Margaret Summers, aged 64, of Ann Arbor, MI passed peacefully in her home on April 28, 2021 of cancer. She was born in Cleveland, OH on May 29, 1956 to father Edward Joseph Summers, Sr. and mother Mary Elizabeth Summers (ne Conlon). Mary was a graduate of St. Joseph Academy, Class of 1974. She attended the University of Toledo and was a member of the Alpha Zeta Omega pharmaceutical fraternity. She went on to obtain a degree in Pharmacy from the University. She was married to Nicholas Ianni (deceased) and later, Bob Dascola. She started her career as a pharmacist for Perry Drugs in 1979. She was a Sales Rep. and Government Affairs Manager for Hoechst-Roussel for 17 years. Mary subsequently became a Government Affairs Manager for Schering Plough until she became a Corporate Accounts Manager for Amgen in 2004. Mary retired from Amgen in 2014. She became involved in Pharmacogenomics and medication management therapy from 2015 up until her passing. In her spare time, Mary was interested in all things esoteric and spiritual, and she began doing energy work and reflexology in the 1990s. Mary was a loving, adventurous, and nurturing soul who always sought to help others before herself. Her generosity was unmatched, and she loved hosting friends and family in her home. She was an avid world traveler, a wine enthusiast, and had a lifelong love of learning. In her later years she took up motorcycling with her husband, Bob. She even found the time to attend clown school, and she enjoyed performing as Fiddlesticks the Clown for children's parties and 4th of July parades in Ann Arbor. Also, the Thanksgiving Day in Detroit as a float manager for the Parade Company. Mary was preceded in death by her parents Edward J. Summers Sr. and Mary E. Summers, and her sister Annie P. Summers. She is survived by her husband Bob Dascola, step-daughters Lindsay Dascola and Stephanie Dascola, and step son Michael Dascola, brothers John J. Summers, Sr. (Valerie) and Edward J. Summers, Jr. (Renee), niece Heather A. Summers D'Orazio (Jessica), nephew John J. Summers, Jr. (Sarah), great-nephew Cohen J. Summers, and many dear cousins. Memorial services for Mary will be announced at a later date.

I am so saddened to hear about Mary's passing. I was shocked when I heard the news since I have been saying healing prayers for Mary for such a long time. I will continue to pray for Mary, Bob, and their family. I know Mary from St. Francis. I always considered her a good friend.

Mary wasn't only my neighbor but a very good friend as well. I have known Mary for over 17 years and she was one of the most inspiring, genuine and giving people that I have ever had the pleasure to know. I will miss Mary's signature laugh, working on our yards together, a drink on the back screened porch but most of all her friendship. Rest in peace my friend, you will be sorely missed. Very sincerely, Jeffrey and Celeste Yahr.
