Mary Forest

Mary Ann Forest, 93, passed away on Saturday, November 21, 2020.  She was born on March 16, 1927 in Akron, OH, daughter of the late Joseph and Lena (Manco) Guarnieri.  She retired from Sparkle Market in Stow, and she was a member of St. Eugene Catholic Church.  Best known for her generosity, she loved more than anything to cook, entertain and feed guests, often asking "Did you eat yet?" due to her Italian roots.  She enjoyed drawing; playing cards at Tallmadge Community Center, and was an avid Cleveland Indians and Indy 500 fan.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her loving husband, William Donald Forest and son-in-law, Larry Cunningham.

She will be dearly missed by her daughters, Laura Cunningham of Kent and Kathy (David) Phillips of Stow; grandchildren, Matthew (Theresa) Phillips, Alicia (Nathan) Shalashnow, Mark Dumm, and Jesse (Amy) Phillips; great-grandsons, Landen Phillips, Levi Shalashnow, and Quinn Shalashnow; many loving cousins and friends, especially Helen and Bob Lewis, and half brother, Michael Guarnieri.
