SALT LAKE CITY — Mary Blanusa Radakovich died March 7, 2016.

Mary was born July 18, 1926 in Standardville, Utah to George and Katie Ruby. Mary was a simple woman of kind words. She took great pride in and loved serving others as a cleaning lady at Castleview Hospital and Carbon County School District. 

Following retirement, she relocated to Salt Lake City to be near her daughter and family. She cared for her dog Georgie, who was by her side for many years. 

Mary is survived by her loving daughter, Kathy (Randall) Topolovec; and two grandchildren, RaNae (Scott) Schmidt and Stephanie (Kevin) O’Brien. She is best known as Nana to more than just her great-grandchildren Paige, Jason and Paul O’Brien and Anna and Emily Schmidt. 

She leaves with us her special recipes of apple strudel and potica.

A Memorial Mass was celebrated at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. 

The family wishes to thank Highland Care Center for their wonderful years of care and support where she was a known icon with the nickname “So-So Mary.” 

In memory of Mary, a devout Catholic, donations may be made to St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church.
