Mary Yug

February 15, 1922 - January 1, 2018

Mary A. Yug, (nee Rozankovic) 95, of Lorain died peacefully on January 1, 2018 at Kingston in Vermilion, Ohio. Mary was born on February 15, 1922, in Canton, Ohio and moved to Lorain within one year. Parents were John and Barbara (Sabolich) Rozankovic. She graduated from Lorain High School in the class of 1940B. Soon after graduation, she went to work for the Ninth Naval District in Cleveland, Ohio for several years. Later she worked for the Social Security Administration for a few years in Lorain before marriage and starting a family. Mary was a lifetime member of the Church of St. Peter, Lorain where she faithfully attended the Tuesday morning Novena services. She enjoyed walking, gardening, cooking and baking and was excellent at crossword puzzles. She also enjoyed dancing to polka music and went dancing every weekend with her husband Al. She golfed at various courses in the area with her friends and also her family for many years, and had a hole-in-one on the 9th hole at Emerald Valley. Mary was a fan of the Cleveland Indians. She fondly remembered seeing Bob Feller pitch a no-hitter putting the Indians in the World Series in 1948. Mary returned to work while raising her children and worked for the Lorain Board of Education for 22 years in clerk and secretarial positions in the Business and Finance Offices. Most of all she loved taking care of her grandchildren and made sure she attended all their scholastic, musical and sporting events. She never missed an opportunity to spend time with her grandchildren. Also, she looked forward to all the family get-togethers and never missed the annual family reunion held at Linwood Park every summer. She hosted many memorable Christmas Eve gatherings, birthday parties and picnics. Mary really enjoyed cooking and baking for all her neighbors, friends and family. She is survived by her two daughters, Barbara Ann (Kevin) Lowry, Amherst, Ohio and Charlene (Timothy) Clodwick, Lorain, Ohio. She just recently lost her son Gary (Annette) Yug Elyria, Ohio, and her grandson Nicholas Yug. She is also survived by her grandchildren, James Yug (Kristie), Rachel Lowry and Kyle Lowry, Dustin Clodwick and Sean Clodwick and great grandson, Tyler Yug. She was preceded in death by her husband Albert s. Yug in 1991 and her parents John and Barbara Rozankovic, her brothers, Steve, Joseph and John Rowan and her sister Ann K. Dunn and her son Gary Yug, December, 2017 and grandson Nickolas Yug, 2016.
