Maryann K. Pillin 1933-2025

She was born May 28, 1933, in Youngstown, the daughter of the late John and Mary Johnson Toman.

Maryann was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School. Her professional journey included her work as an administrative assistant for Chicago Land Title in downtown Youngstown, followed by her role as an office manager at the Youngstown Club, where she had the joy of working alongside her sister, Joan.

She was a member of St. Christine Church, where she was very active, being a valued member of the Infant Guild and 1st Friday.

Maryann’s passion for social interactions led her to forge many lasting friendships throughout her life. Maryann also had a strong sense of creativity. Known for her skills as a great seamstress, she found fulfillment in her hobbies and interests. Ever the social butterfly, Maryann enjoyed traveling with family and friends and participating in her many card clubs.

Maryann is survived by her two daughters, Patti (Tom) Braydich of Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Carrie Pillin of Gahanna. She was adored by her grandchildren, Matthew (Rachel) Braydich, Katie (Kevin) Peaks and Meghan (Jamie) Bright; and great-grandchildren, Ruthie-Kate, Carter, Isla, Grace-Piper, Parker, Carli Ann, Lucas and Walker.

Maryann is now reunited in eternal rest with her beloved husband, Carl Pillin, whom she married May 1, 1954, and who died Feb. 25, 2001; her sister, Joan McIntosh; and brother-in-law, Bill McIntosh.

The family would like to thank Ed and Diane Reese, and the staff at The Inn at Ironwood, Briarfield Manor and, most recently, at Briarfield Place. We also want to thank Akeso Health Care of Canfield.

Visitation will be 10 to 10:45 a.m. Saturday, May 31, 2025, at St. Christine Church, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Maryann’s name can be made to the Arthritis Foundation.

Professional arrangements are being handled by the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Boardman-Canfield Chapel.
