Mary H. Zarbaugh, 86, went home to be with the lord on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Mary was born on August 22, 1939 in Warren, OH; a daughter to Paul and Helen (Raymond) Hicks.
Mary was a member of the graduating class of 1957 from Green High School. She worked for Packard Electric for 30 years until her retirement. She married the love of her life, Stephen Zarbaugh on May 30, 1975. They spent 48 years together before his passing on January 23, 2024.
Mary was the world’s best Nana. She absolutely adored her grandchildren and loved being with her family. Mary loved to get out and enjoy life. Getting to her Family reunions, her trips to Myrtle Beach, to North Kingsville to camp and fish, out to eat with friends and gardening filled her with joy. Mary loved to bake. She was a part of Shiloh Church and enjoyed getting there to worship. She was a chatterbox; Mary had a natural ability to fill anyone’s time with conversation. It didn’t matter who you were, she loved to talk. She spent her down time watching the Hallmark channel and Wheel of Fortune.
Mary leaves behind many people that will love and miss her dearly, including her daughters Deborah (Michael) Rondini, Barbara (Allen) Hover; sons David (MaryAnne) Plott, Stephen (Stacie) Zarbaugh; grandchildren Heather (Mark) Lamont, Meghan (Dan) Stansloski, Richie (Maria) Plott, Michael (Kristi) Rondini, Jessica (James) Hover, Brittany (Andy) Glass, Stacie Hover, Laurel Zarbaugh, Nadia Zarbaugh; great-grandchildren Jessica, Machella and Alexander Lamont, Kennedy Stansloski, Dominic Rondini, Harper and Renni Plott, Chance Baker, Allena Woolfort, Aristea Crum, Pheobe and Paul Hover; and 2 great-great-grandchildren Addison and Wesley Smith.
She was predeceased by her parents, her husband Stephen Zarbaugh; sisters Evelyn Bartholomew and Leone Kolley; brothers John Hicks, Carlos Hicks, Roger Hicks and Billy Zarbaugh.
The family would like to express their immense gratitude to Southern Care Hospice and O’Briens Nursing Home for the care and compassion they provided Mary and her Family.
