Mona Marlene Klaczko

Mona Marlene Klaczko, known affectionately by family and friends as Mona, passed away
peacefully on October 15, 2024, in Newton Falls, Ohio, after a valiant battle with cancer. Born
on March 17th 1952 in Bluefield, West Virginia, Mona's warm spirit and joyful presence touched
all who knew her throughout her 72 years of life.
Mona was a graduate of Aurora High School. A generous, loving, and thoughtful woman,
Mona's greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted mother to her children, Mike Bair
(Leslie) of Streetsboro, Jennifer Dawson (Shon) of Georgia, and Doug Bair of Newton Falls; and
a doting grandmother to her beloved grandchildren, Torri and Austin Bair, and Lexi Dawson.
She also cherished her role as a great-grandmother to Kaden, Carter, and Jaxson, whose
youthful exuberance brought her immense happiness. Mona is survived by her sister, Karen W.
(Victor) Aurora, her sister, Kim Mendolera (Dan) Doylestown, and her brother, Jamie Dillow
(Laurie) Aurora. Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved her most.
She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Dillow; her mother, Myrtle Dillow; her
brothers, Steve and Chet Dillow; and her grandson, Lance Dawson.
Mona's interests extended beyond the warmth of her family life. She was a familiar face at the
local bingo hall, where she shared laughter and good fortune with friends. Mona's sense of
community was deeply rooted in Newton Falls. Those who had the pleasure of knowing Mona
will remember her for her boldness, funny personality. Mona's spirit of giving and her passion for
life were evident in everything she did. Whether she was enjoying a game of bingo, celebrating
milestones with her grandchildren, or simply spending time with her friends, she did so with a
full heart and an infectious smile.
As we bid farewell to Mona Marlene Klaczko, we take solace in the memories she leaves behind
and the profound impact she made on our lives. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her
spirit will continue to guide and inspire us. In honoring Mona's memory, we celebrate a life filled
with joy, love, and unwavering kindness. She was a beacon of light to all who knew her, and her
legacy will endure through the countless lives she touched. Rest in peace, dear Mona, until we
meet again.
A memorial will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at the Newton Village
Apartments Community Center, 607 Ridge Road, Newton Falls, Ohio 44444.
