marian jablonski

Marian Jablonski, 78, of Weirton, WV, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2025, surrounded by her closest loved ones.

Marian was born to the late Stella and Eugene Jablonski in Steubenville, OH, on December 30, 1946. She was preceded in death by her much-beloved sister, Loretta Cerra.

Marian is survived by her daughters Tamara (John) Mitchell of Colliers, WV, and Jolene Lawton of Fort Wayne, IN, as well as her devoted partner, Dave Gardner of Weirton, WV, her nephew Jim (Marsha) Cerra, niece Genie Evanko, niece Lisa Cerra, and great niece Abbey Evanko.

Marian graduated from Catholic Central High School in 1964 and from The Ohio Valley Hospital School of Nursing in 1967. She worked for 30 years as a registered nurse, including for Weirton General Hospital, Weirton Osteopathic Hospital, and Professional Home Health and Home Care. She then spent six years providing in-home care for her parents, ensuring they got the best possible support at the end of their lives.

Marian enjoyed simple pleasures in life, like feeding birds in the backyard, watching a good sunset or thunderstorm, and strolling through a garden. She spent many days relaxing on a fishing boat with Dave and loved visiting the beach on either coast. She and her daughters could sometimes be found going to concerts or playing trivia or Scrabble – but they were always found laughing together. She was also a big fan of cats, the Steelers, sci-fi, naps, coffee, and seafood.

Marian was a genuinely kind and caring person who lived life on her own terms.

Marian’s wishes were to be cremated without any formal services.

Marian will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home Crematory, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV., 26062.
