Obituary: Mary Ellen Emery

Mary was born on Feb. 12, 1956 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Ruby (nee Bell) and Theodore Antico. She raised her children in Harrison, Ohio and later relocated to Oxford for work as a Home Health Caregiver. 

She was a hard worker who had a heart for serving others. She also took great care of her children and her grandchildren, always thinking of others. In her spare time, she loved to go out to the casinos to be with family and unwind. 

Mary is the beloved mother of Beverly (the late David) Hacker, Christina (Craig) Wilhite and Tony Polly; cherished grandmother of Dezon Hacker, Dayna Hacker, Austin Polly, Zach Keller, Michael Polly, Sierra Pruitt, Anthony Polly, Jr., Isaiah Polly, Vinny Polly, Jionni Harris and great grandmother of Kira Polly; dear sister of Patty (Bobby) Jansen and Ralph Antico. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Teddy Antico, sister Barbara Antico, and grandson Bryan Huff. Her family will hold a celebration of life for her at a later date. Mary will be deeply missed.
