Mary R. (Williams) Schlagel, a lifetime resident of Warwick, NY, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Good Samaritan Hospital on October 18, 2023. She was 75 years old.

Born on October 9, 1948, she was the daughter of the late John and Elizabeth (Nebel) Williams.

A family statement reads, “Known as Aunt Mary to a generation of children and Momma Mary to many others, including Jacqueline Clark and Steven Ball, Mary had a great love for family, friends and her Catholic faith which she demonstrated daily.”
