Lois (Ginny) Mailey, 100, passed away on Tuesday, January 20th at The Inn at Ironwood.
Born March 9, 1925 in New Castle, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Huldah (Perkins) and Raymond Stevens.
She was a lifetime member of Mahoning Methodist Church, serving on the finance committee. She was a 1943 graduate of Chaney High School and a member of the National Honor Society. She retired in 1978, after 32 years in the accounting department at Youngstown Sheet and Tube.
Ginny married John W. Mailey July 10, 1950 and he passed away on July 7, 1998.
Ginny was known for her strength and independence. In her younger years, she enjoyed golfing alongside her husband, and together they shared a love of traveling. She also took great pride in her gardening and yard work, which she continued to enjoy well into her 90s.
She leaves many beloved cousins, friends and her caretakers Nancy Dixon, Charla Sontag, Dorothy Kyle, Patty Negro and Leslie McTique.
Services will be held at Lane Funeral Home, Austintown Chapel, January 27th, from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM. A funeral service will be held at 12:00 PM at the funeral home. Ginny will be laid to rest beside her husband at Green Haven Memorial Gardens.
