Mary Catherine Hillard

January 15, 1983 — June 27, 2025

Xenia, Ohio

Mary C. Hillard, age 42, passes away Friday June 27, 2025..  She was born January 15, 1982 in Columbus, Ohio.  

She is the oldest child of the late PVT. Jeffery M. Herman and Catherine (fiancée Shane Bailey) Hillard.  Mary is also survived by her step father Stanley E. Mefford Jr; younger brother Nathan P. (fiancée Courtney Cox) Mefford; niece Madalyn; nephews Gabriel, Michael, Tyler and loving best friend Michael Shelton as well as other extended family and friends. 

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Norma Jean and Floyd T Hillard; paternal grandparents Thomas and Sandra Young and uncle Thomas P. Hillard.

 Mary was a life long resident of Xenia, Ohio.  She attended Xenia High School, the class of 2000. She earned a scholarship for band to The Ohio State University.  Mary also attended Sinclair College as an accountant.

Mary spent her career serving the public and delivered food from Cousin Vinny's to the community.  She was known as a very dedicated worker.  You could see her helping anyone in need.  

Her trademarks were her smile and her beautiful eyes.  She loved to laugh, joke around and play tricks on her family and friends.  She was a great story teller.  

She loved being in nature, playing disc golf, playing volleyball, going to haunted houses, seeing movies at the Drive-In, going fishing and traveling.  Her goal was to travel the "BIG US" with her cat Sable once she had her truck and trailer put together.  She was known to work on and fix up her truck so it ran properly. 

Once you met Mary she was a friend for life.  There is an enormous void in the hearts of all that were blessed to know her, but be comforted by knowledge that her Nenaw and Papaw met her in heaven with open arms.  

Public visitation will be held at Newcomer Funeral Home (3380 Dayton Xenia Rd. Beavercreek, Ohio) on Tuesday July 8th from 2:30 pm until 4:00 pm with funeral service to follow at 4:00 pm.  She will be laid to rest on a later date with her Nenaw and Papaw at Valley View Memorial Gardens. 

in lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Mary's memory to The Humane Society of Greater Dayton in honor of her love of animals.
