Mary Rose Schnars, age 91, passed away on February 19, 2016.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., and recently of Uniontown, Ohio, she retired from Penn Hills School District and was a member of Uniontown United Methodist Church. Her passion was her family, friends, a good card game and the music of a “1940’s” big band. She was unselfish, a friend to all and her undeniable spark for life was inspirational.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles “Bud” Schnars; son, Richard; parents, Andrew and Mary Hospodor; and sister, Betty. She was grateful for the unconditional love and care of Debby, Steve, Megan and Jamie Frank. She is survived by son, Ken (Lynda) Schnars; and daughters, Nancy (Gene) Rooney, Debby (Steve) Frank and Karen Carroll; daughter-in-law, Cathy Schnars; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. A special thanks to the staff of Altercare of Hartville for the love and care of our beloved mother.
A private burial is planned for spring in Pittsburgh. Memorials may be made to: Pathway Caring for Children, Foster Care Department, 4895 Dressler Road NW, Suite A, Canton, OH 44718.
