Mary L. Bax, 76, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on June 1, 2024 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY.  Born in Ringgold, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Iris Wyant and step-daughter of the late Red Barnett.

Mary came to the Niagara Falls Area at the age of 13 with her family.  She graduated from Niagara Falls High School and later earned her Associates Degree from Kelly Business School.          On February 12, 1966, she married Guy A. Bax at Sacred Heart Church in Niagara Falls, NY.  Mary was employed as an administrative and executive secretary at Carborundum Corporation for 20 years and later worked as a purchasing agent at Occidential Chemical Corporation for 20 years prior to her retirement in 2010.

Mary enjoyed gardening, art, attending theatre shows, especially at Shea's, and traveling extensively with her husband.  She cherished her dear friends and was extremely close to her beloved bulldog, Agnes.  More than anything, her family was her alpha and her omega, and she was happiest when she was taking care of her family, especially her grandchildren.

In addition to her husband of 58 years, Mary is survived by her children, Anthony L. (Sabrina) Bax of New Paltz, NY, Stephanie L. (Rob Chandler) Bax, and Guy C. (Stacy) Bax; her grandchildren, Luca F. Bax, Savino A. Bax, and Carmine F. Bax, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family.  In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, https://www.stjude.org/donate/, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, https://give.roswellpark.org/, or to a charity of one's choice.  Arrangements by M.J.
