Mary was born March 5, 1935, in Trenton, PA, to Joseph and Ruth (Kipp) Pickett. She married Richard Griglione in Canton, OH. He passed away January 17, 1990.

Ruth loved being surrounded by the huge family she created, smoking her cigarettes, fishing, boating on the Kentucky lake, and always had to have her cookie by her side. She was a devoted mother and grandmother to all of her children and many grandchildren. Ruth is deeply loved and will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her, but is finally at rest with her love, Richard and her beloved sons.

In lieu of a celebration of life, please keep Ruth in your heart, remember her wherever you are, and celebrate the long life she lived with your loved ones on Christmas Day.

She is survived by her son, Morris (Julie) Lovell; her daughter, Judy Kostman; twelve grandchildren; twenty one great grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her sons, Danny and Mike Lovell; and her brother and sister-in-law, Joe (Helen) Pickett.

Memorials may be directed to the family.
