Mary Ann Kotch, age 86, of Renfrew, passed away Wednesday., November 23, 2022, at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Born August 19, 1936 in Wilkes-Barre, PA, she was a daughter of the late Michael and Martha Richards Budzyn.

Mary was the beloved wife of Richard W. Kotch. They were married at Saint Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church in Wilkes-Barre, and they celebrated their 65 ^th wedding anniversary a little over a week ago -- on November 16, 2022.

She was a member of All Saints Parish, where she served as a Eucharistic Minister.

Mary also bowled in the Sunshine Bowling League; she golfed in the Stoughton Golf League; and she was a dedicated volunteer in the Cherry Tree Gift Shoppe at Butler Memorial Hospital.

She especially enjoyed attending her grandsons' numerous sporting events and her granddaughter's many dance recitals over the years. A most special time was the arrival of her first great-granddaughter this past year.

Mary loved to play cards – particularly Five Hundred -- and to go out to lunch.  One of her favorite amusements was trying her luck with scratch-off lottery tickets. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and she enjoyed watching tv, especially Fox News, the Bachelor, the Price Is Right, Let's Make A Deal, and Wheel of Fortune.

Mary was the devoted and loving mother of four children, Ann Marie Snodgrass and her husband, Roger, of Butler, Lisa Ames, of Tampa, Fla., Richard W. Kotch, Jr. and his wife, Lisa, of Butler, and Robert Kotch, of Butler; five grandchildren, Austin Snodgrass and his fiancé, Jen Bahm, Nate Snodgrass and his wife, Kimberly, Heather Sydnor and her husband, Zach, Tyler Kotch, and Tanner Kotch; and one great-granddaughter, Addison Marie Sydnor.

She was preceded in death by four brothers and four sisters.
