Mary Ann Kloss

Mary Ann Kloss (nee Roffey), 70, of Elyria, died Friday June 20, 2025 after a long battle with diabetes at Cleveland Clinic-Avon Hospital.  She was born October 13, 1954 in Cleveland.  She was formerly employed as a photo lab technician at Wetzler Photo Studios, then in the photographic lab at NASA Glenn Research Center and later at Howard Hanna Real Estate.  Mary Ann was a member of Community of Faith United Church of Christ, Lorain County Historical Society and West Shore Antique Club. 

Mary Ann is survived by her husband of 42 years, William F.; son, Rob (Lindsey) Roffey; grandchildren, Grady and Kyan and siblings, Robert, Edward and Carol Roffey.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Margaret Roffey.

Shortly after Mary Ann’s death, Bill’s thoughts were: My wife of 42 years fought the good fight and entered into eternal rest.  She's finally free of the being a Type 1 diabetic and the associated problems that go with it. Remember to cherish your loved ones. As Willy Nelson sang, Mary Ann is my "Angel Flying To Close To The Ground". I'll love you forever.

Friends will be received Saturday August 30, 2025 from 10:00 am until the time of an 11:00 am memorial service at Community of Faith UCC, 9715 E. River Road, Elyria with Reverend Delisa Buckingham-Taylor officiating.  A reception will follow in the community room.
