MARTIN, MARY L. of Pontiac, passed away surrounded by her loving children on November 11, 2025 at 93 years of age. Cherished mother of Theresa Martin, Jeffrey (Yolanda) Martin, Deanna (Shawn) Shilling, Mark Martin, Kathleen (David) Harrison, the late Alan Martin; beloved grandmother of 10 and preceded death by one granddaughter; great grandmother of 16; and great great grandmother of 4; sister of Nancy DeLongchamp and preceded in death by sisters Elizabeth Smiley and Rose Polley. Mary was a dedicated, loving, and devoted mother to her children. They were her everything and she encouraged them to pursue their dreams and to stick to it and move forward when things got tough. Her arms were wide and loving and as grandchildren came along, her tent of love and support got even bigger with great grandchildren. She was happiest when she was with people and caring for children. She took great pride in her home and her cooking – both of which she was exceptional. Funeral service will be held Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 11 AM at COATS FUNERAL HOME-WATERFORD. Interment follows Perry Mt. Park Cemetery, Pontiac.
