Mary Catherine Bick
Mary Catherine Bick, 92, of Fremont, OH passed away at her home surrounded by family on Thursday, August 11, 2016. She was born August 28, 1923 in Cleveland, OH, the daughter of Martin and Marie (Petro) Auble. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Education from Notre Dame College.
Mary served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1944 to 1946 and was stationed at Henderson Hall in Washington D.C. She then married Arthur Edward Bick where they farmed east of Norwalk. Mary was a sixth grade Teacher at Western Reserve School District in Collins, OH for many years.
Mary was a long time member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Norwalk. Her love of travel took her to several European countries, Africa, Canada, Ireland and Alaska to visit her brother. She was part of the Honor Flight with other WWII Veterans and went on the USS Constitution Turn Around Cruise out of Boston Harbor. Mary did extensive genealogy for both sides of her family that included four trips to Ireland. She enjoyed historical fiction, needle work and quilting, the quiet countryside and gardening. She was known as the “Lady with the hoe” to the truckers who passed by her home. Mary loved to tell stories about her life and could amuse those who would listen for hours.
