Mary E. Carrick, age 79, of Parma, Ohio, passed away on July 10, 2026. She was born November 26, 1946.

Devoted mother of Kimberly Agnello (Tony) and Don Carrick; cherished sister of Kathleen McNeeley (Chuck Corea), Ellen McNeeley, Gina McNeeley, James McNeeley, Donald McNeeley (Patricia), and the late Ann Sancin. Beloved aunt and great-aunt to many nieces and nephews. Mary was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Wilbur and Mary McNeeley (née Hart).

A true trailblazer, Mary played a pioneering role in the establishment of the Association of Group Homes in Nodaway, Missouri, breaking ground and helping to create services for all. She devoted her life to caring for those whose voices often went unheard, passionately advocating for individuals with developmental disabilities, women’s rights, and accessible social services.

She was a determined, driven, and remarkably strong woman. She possessed a steadfast belief that with enough perseverance, anything she set her mind to, could be accomplished. Her resilience, conviction, and dedication inspired those around her and served as the foundation for the many positive changes she made come to life. She will be remembered for her heart, fearless advocacy, and the legacy of service she leaves to those cherishing her memory.

To honor Mary’s dedication to helping the disenfranchised, please help support an organization close to your heart. Mary was a passionate supporter of Planned Parenthood, Amnesty International, the ACLU and others focused on women’s and civil rights.

A Celebration of Life for Mary will be held at a later date.
