MARY A. ULATOWSKI, (nee Wishnesky), age 75, of Parma, OH, peacefully passed away with her family by her side on July 20, 2024. She was born in Cleveland, OH, to Alexander and Janet (Maschmeyer) Wishnesky. Mary was preceded in death by her parents and her twin sister, Jeanne Wisniewski.
Mary was a devoted mother, wife, and friend to all those who knew her. She shared 50 loving years of marriage with the love of her life, her husband David Ulatowski. She was entirely dedicated to her family, never missing an opportunity to spend cherished moments with her children.
Mary had a lifelong passion for education and had a proud, diverse career ranging from a math teacher with the Cleveland City School District, Parmadale, and Goodyear. In retirement, she continued to give back, volunteering at Community Corner Food Bank and All Faiths Hunger Network, as well as being an active member of the St. Charles Dismas group. Mary also enjoyed spending time (often involving sharing juicy gossip) with her sisters.
She is survived by her husband, David Ulatowski; her children, Laura (Craig) Ulatowski and Jennifer (Timmy) Nguyen; her sisters, Judy (Rex) Collins, Nancy (Bob) Flanik, Betty Wishnesky, and Marjorie (Robert) Szczepaniak; her sister-in-law Carol (George, deceased) Kocian; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved dogs, Lucy and Willy, as well as her numerous “granddogs.”
