Mary Plaza Obituary
Mary's greatest joy in life was her family. She cherished her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, creating countless memories in Connecticut, Ohio and Florida - memories that will be shared and treasured for generations. Her generosity, warmth, and feisty spirit touched everyone who knew her, and her love will live on through those she leaves behind.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Joseph Anthony Plaza, her granddaughter Melisa Hanck, and her son-in-law William Hoislbauer.
Mary is survived by her daughters: Doran (Roger) Baral, Diane Hoislbauer and Debra (Peter) Moore. She will also be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: Joe (Kayla) Baral, Rob (Celeste) Baral, Matt (Camren) Hanck, Stephanie (Greg) Tuttle, Sarrah Hoislbauer, Warren/Wojo, Rilee, and Ava Moore. In addition, she leaves behind nine great-grandchildren., sister Joan Pulzen of Canton, CT; niece, Kimberly (Jonathon) Torano, and family; and her long-time devoted friends, Carol Spano and Marion Bryns. All will proudly carry on her legacy.
Mary will also be deeply missed by her loyal dog, Sasha, who brought her comfort and companionship for many years.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice. To honor Mary's life, please take time to appreciate and cherish the people you love.
