Obituary of Mary G. Stoffel

Stoffel, Mary G. McGrath Irondequoit: Mary Stoffel, 98, passed away on Thursday, June 23, 2016. She was a longtime resident of both Irondequoit and Webster, NY, and daughter of the late James V. and Gertrude McGrath. Mary's faith was important to her.

Her volunteerism continued beyond the parish to include the Association for the Blind, Red Cross, Junior Aides for the Handicapped, and Irondequoit Library. Her quest for knowledge never ended as she continued to take classes at RIT into her mid-nineties. She loved her extensive travel experiences, skiing, tennis and was an avid reader; but most of all she loved time spent with her family. She will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.
