Mary Elda Linda Vescio

Mary Elda Linda (Haas) Vescio, lovingly known as “Snooks” and “Aunt Snookie”, age 73, of Saginaw, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, April 26, 2020. The daughter of Claude and Thelma Haas, Mary was born November 8, 1946, in Saginaw, Michigan. She married Ralph Vescio on May 15, 1965. They would have celebrated 55 years of marriage in just a few weeks. Mary had many hobbies in life, but especially enjoyed antiques, jukebox music, going to rummage sales, doing crossword puzzles, playing cards and Tri-Peaks on her cell phone (Thank you Dale!), Harley Davison Motorcycles, reading, stuffed bears, and being around others. Her Catholic faith was incredibly important to her. Mary worked at the YMCA and Target for a time. Of all the things Mary loved in life, the most important was her family, who will remember her as a wonderful wife, mom, grammy, sister, and aunt. Her grandchildren were her life and her greatest joy. Mary is survived by her beloved husband, Ralph Vescio, Sr.; her loving children, Maria (Bob) Sian, Ralph Vescio, Jr. (partner, Marsha Pahr), Ann Vescio Baldwin, Chuck Vescio (Jessica Rangel) and daughter-in-law, Becky Vescio; grandchildren, Olivia Sian, Bobby Sian, Kaitlyn Vescio, Autumn Vescio, Nadia Baldwin, Nicky Baldwin, Austin Beck, and Zoie Clark; sister, Debbie (Dave) Herzberg; brother-in-law, Louie (Kay) Vescio; sister-in-law, Debbie (Vescio) Chinery; and Aunt Elda “El-Net” Prueter; her cousin and sister to heart, Jackie Maher; many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Thelma Haas; mother and father-in-law, Vittorio and Gina Vescio; brother-in-law, Antonio Vescio, Sr.; and sister-in-law, Maria Vescio, who passed away as an infant.
