There will be a celebration of life for Mary in Spring of 2025.
Mary was born March 25, 1953 in West Allis, Wisconsin to Anton and Theresa Frances (Ivancich) Mershnik Jr. She lived in West Allis with her loving parents and two sisters, Marcia, and Marilynn. She graduated from West Allis Central High School in 1971. She married William Frank Kehoss on December 17, 1988, at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and they have been happily married for 35 years. Their daughter, Melissa Theresa, was born in 1989. They lived in various towns in Wisconsin until they moved to Iron Mountain, Michigan where they lived for 16 years, and finally moved back to the Wisconsin Dells area. Throughout her life Mary worked as a Bank Teller, Sales Associate and as a Promotion Hostess at Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells where she retired from.
Mary enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, fishing, going out to eat, going for walks and watching the wildlife while sitting on her back deck. Mary loved jewelry and was always wearing different earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Mary always enjoyed pets and had numerous cats and dogs throughout her life. She once brought home a kitten that someone was selling outside of a grocery store rather than the groceries she went there for. She will be dearly missed by her cocker spaniel, Finn.
Mary was the sweetest person anyone has ever met. She was always smiling her beautiful smile. Mary was a Christian and attended a Cursillo retreat while she lived in Iron Mountain, MI.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Anton & Theresa Mershnik.
Mary is survived by her loving husband, William “Bill” Kehoss of Wisconsin Dells, WI; daughter, Melissa “Missy” (Tony) DalSanto of Iron Mountain, MI; two grandchildren, Owen DalSanto and Lila DalSanto of Iron Mountain, MI; sisters, Marcia Couillard and Marilynn Triplett. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relations, and friends.
Mary was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. No matter what her day was like she would always greet you with a smile. it was contagious to all in her presence when she worked at the Credit Union in iron Mountain.
One of the greatest commands from our savior is to love thy neighbor as we love ourselves.
Mary was definitely the epitome of that.
Love and blessings to Bill , Missy and the family. 🙏🏻❤️
