Mary Rita Pendleton

Born in Cleveland, OH, on October 29, 1928, she was the last surviving child of the late John and Catherine (Bouno) Ferrone. Coming from a very large family of eleven children, she treasured family and the memories she made throughout the years were truly special to her.

She is survived by two daughters, Susan Pendleton (Gary) Swick and Lynne Pendleton; three grandchildren, Melinda (Zachary) Hallock, Kelly (Brian) Powell and Alexander (Jackie) Swick; eight great-grandchildren, Aiden Hallock, Emmy Tran, Luca Hallock, Leo Swick, Layne Swick, Tabitha, Teagan and Travis Powell; a brother-in-law, Kenneth (Lynne) Pendleton; and two sisters-in-law, Norma Ferrone and Marty Pendleton.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Marion Pendleton on November 16, 2008; siblings, Angie Johns, Earl Ferrone, Nicholas Ferrone, Lucy Lovell, Catherine Beduhn, John Ferrone, Yolanda Ferrone, Victor Ferrone, Viola Hennie and Stella Casey; brother-in-law, Phil Pendleton; and sister-in-law, Marilyn Pendleton Cutter Zappone.
