Mary Gordon Obituary

Mary J. Gordon

Mary J. Gordon, 67, of Tiffin, passed away Saturday morning, December 6, 2025, in the emergency room at Mercy Health - Tiffin Hospital.

On June 6, 1958, in Tiffin, she was born to Lewis R. and Florence R. (Reiter) Ringle. She married Kevin Gordon, July 24, 2004.

Mary is survived by her husband, Kevin of 21 years; daughters, Michelle (Sayyid) Abdulrauf of Tiffin and Mindy (Samuel) Swartz of Fostoria; son, Mark (Christina) Walland of Clyde; stepdaughters, Nicole Gordon of Findlay, Danielle Gordon of Kenton, and Jessica Gordon (Paul Striff) of Bloomdale; sister, Susan Rogers of Tiffin; brothers, John (Terrie) Ringle of Morral, Paul Ringle of Fostoria, and Brian (Kindra) Ringle of Tiffin; 19 grandchildren, one great-grandchild; and her dog, Tilly.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her mother-in-law, Gloria Smith; and a stepdaughter, Sharia Gordon.

Mary was a member of First Christian Church and a 1976 graduate of Mohawk High School, a 1977 graduate of Tiffin Hair Academy, and a 1990 graduate of Tri-Rivers Vocational Center. She was a licensed practical nurse at Autumnwood Care Center for over 19 years, Good Shepherd Home, and, most recently, at Elmwood at The Shawhan. Over the years, she volunteered for the Tiffin-Seneca Heritage Festival and Relay For Life. She was a huge sports fan, following The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers, and Browns. She was a bigger fan of Heart of Ohio Sports, where she could catch all the area high school games. Mary found joy in traveling with her husband, gardening and raising her chickens, but she loved spoiling her grandchildren, attending their events and being the best Grammie.

Her funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday, December 15, 2025, at First Christian Church with the Rev. Doug DeVos officiating. Burial will follow at Greenlawn Cemetery.

Friends may visit and share stories with family from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, December 14, 2025, at Hoffmann-Gottfried-Mack Funeral Home & Crematory and from 10-11 a.m. Monday at the church.
