Mary Jo Yufer

Mary Yufer, 66, of Quakertown, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 4th, surrounded by her family.

She was born on January 24th, 1959, at Chestnut Hill Hospital and grew up in Ambler. She was the youngest of three children. Mary is survived by her brother Robert; son Brian; daughter Jessica (Lee); and daughter-in-law Elizabeth (John). She was preceded in death by her parents, Rebecca and Charles; her sister, Marlene; her son, Joshua and grandsons Jordan and Joseph.

Mary was a proud Nana to five grandchildren — Hailey, Joshua, Jacob, Ryan, and Brielle — all of whom she adored beyond measure. She was deeply involved in their lives and loved nothing more than spoiling them on their birthdays and at Christmas.

A lover of the outdoors, Mary took great pride in her gardens and her Koi pond. She could often be found outside, tending to her plants or simply relaxing on her porch surrounded by the beauty she created. Her green thumb was matched only by her big heart.

Mary was known for her honesty, wisdom, and sense of humor. She was a “jack of all trades” who could fix almost anything — usually without needing duct tape. She loved her animals like family and was always ready to lend a listening ear or offer advice that came straight from the heart. Her homemade sugar and filled cookies were legendary at Christmastime and will be remembered by all who were lucky enough to taste them.

Above all, Mary was a supportive mother, Nana, and friend. She was there for her family through good times and bad and will be deeply missed every single day. Whenever we see a cardinal, we’ll know it’s her — reminding us that she’s okay and still with us.

All are invited on Friday, November 14 to Naugle Funeral & Cremation Service, 135 W. Pumping Station Rd., Quakertown, PA 18951 for a visitation from 10:00-11:00am, and a celebration of Mary's life at 11:00am. 

We love you, Mom, and will carry you in our hearts always.
