CANFIELD - Mary Ann Czopur, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, at the age of 85, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Youngstown, Ohio, on Oct. 23, 1941, she was the daughter of Guy and Mary Francis Delpha.
Mary Ann was a woman of many talents. She was a skilled seamstress who made clothing for herself and her children, and she was always happy to make window valances for family members. On weekends she worked as a beautician doing hair for friends and neighbors in her basement shop.
Her greatest joy was her family, and she showed her love through food. Every Friday she made pierogi from scratch, and every Sunday she gathered everyone around the table for a homemade pasta dinner. Her Sunday afternoons often included a trip to the mall, a tradition she kept for years. She was always her children's greatest fan, cheering them on at their sporting events. Later, nothing made her happier than her eight grandchildren. She treasured picking them up from St. Christine and Ursuline High School, and those afternoon rides became some of the family's favorite memories.
Mary Ann cherished her friendships too and enjoyed meeting her high school friends for a monthly lunch. In her later years, she also loved dancing with her friends and listening to Paul Anka.
She is survived by her children Debbie (Tim), Frank (Julie), and Tracy; her eight grandchildren, Samatha, Brianna, Christopher, Amelia, Kaitlin, Kenney, Thomas, and Taylor; her great-grandson, Nicholas; and many other loving relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Guy and Mary Delpha, and her sister, Elaine Baran.
Calling hours will be 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, at Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home, 3100 Canfield Road, Youngstown.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday, at St. Mary Magdeline Church, 3165 S. Schenley Ave., Youngstown.
Arrangements were entrusted to Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home.
