Maryellen Prochnow

Mary Ellen (Marynelle) Prochnow, 82 years old, died on June 18, 2010. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Lillian Kain and by her son Tom. She leaves her husband George; children, Gail (Jerry) Kirkland, Jonathon (Kathy) Prochnow, Heidi (Eric) Hummel, Cassandra (Tim) Mitchin, Barbara (Paul) Wright, and Jennifer (Tim) Turtle; 14 grandchildren and one great grand-daughter. Alzheimer's disease began to take Marynelle's life in April 1994 and ended it peacefully, sending her to her Lord's kingdom, at The Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service in Akron. Marynelle's Christianity was central to her wifehood, motherhood, and ongoing joy of serving others as a nurse and volunteer in a variety of civic and church causes. She excelled as a bridge player. Marynelle's life will be celebrated at a funeral Mass at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kent, Ohio on June 22, 2010 at 10:00 o'clock AM. The family will greet guests at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Miracle House in NYC or The Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service in Akron. Bissler & Sons Funeral Home are handling the arrangements.
