Mary went to be with her Savior at her home on March 17, 2023. She was a longtime Oxford resident and retired from many years of faithful service at Miami University. She was always very giving and put others before herself, but also cherished time spent quietly sitting on her porch in the summertime or tending her small garden. Mary loved chocolate, ice cream and her five cats - but deeply loved her family more than anything. She will be greatly missed.

Mary is the beloved mother of Linda E. Huntington and the late the late Darrell W. Gross; cherished grandmother of Robert (Kristal) Moore, Keli B. (Jason) Gross, Derek C. Gross, and great-grandmother of  Tyler Howard, Chance Meadows, Keagen Moore, Brianna Bluhm, Abigail Neal, Mackenzie Bluhm and five great-great grandchildren. Mary was preceded in death by her adoring husband Charles William Gross, dear sister Louise Farler and loving parents Helen and Harold Lambert.

A visitation will be held Wednesday, March 22, 2023 from 11 am until time of service at 12 pm at Paul R. Young Funeral Home, Oxford.
