Mary A. (Skiljo) Baron, 96, of Hermitage passed away on Sunday, August 20, 2023, at Redstone Highlands, Greensburg, PA.

Mary was born on February 17, 1927, in Farrell, the youngest of four children to the late Frank and Anna (Vukovic) Skiljo. She was blessed to have two sisters, Eva (Skiljo) Matune and Mildred (Skiljo) Novak; and one brother, Matthew Skiljo; all of whom preceded her in death.

On May 4, 1957, she married Joseph P. Baron at St. Anthony's Church in Farrell, PA; they were blessed with 62 years of marriage until his passing on April 6, 2020.

Mary was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She took great pride in caring for her home and family.

A devout Catholic, she prayed the Rosary daily. Mary was a member of the Church of Notre Dame, Hermitage, where she was a member of the Ladies Guild and volunteered in the library and cafeteria of the parochial grade school. Mary also enjoyed cooking and baking. She hosted many Sunday family dinners and holiday gatherings.

Mary will be remembered for her unwavering faith, kindness, generosity, compassion, and warm heart, but most of all, for always putting others' needs before her own.
