With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Mary Ellen Boucher of Mount Vernon, OH.
Below, the family shares some of what made her life meaningful.
Mary held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
What Mary believed shaped how she loved.
Our beloved mother and grandmother, Mary Ellen Boucher, 91, of
Mount Vernon, Ohio, went to be with her Lord and Savior on
Sunday, May 3, 2026, at her home surrounded by family.
Mary was born on January 3, 1935, in Utica, Ohio, to Frank and
Leontine (Jewell) Sindlinger.
Mary trusted Christ as her Savior at a young age and belonged to
Faith Baptist Church. Mary leaves a legacy of love to a large
extended family. She delighted in her children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She also
shared her love with many bonus family members.
Mary's favorite pastimes were reading and crocheting special
gifts. She also loved playing cards, watching movies, and playing
games with her many friends and family.
