Obituary of Mary Lou Demers

It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Marylou Demers, 75, peacefully at home with family members on January 17, 2026 in Stevensville Ontario. She leaves behind, her husband of 32 years Roger Demers.

Born on December 18, 1950, she attended Cardinal Mooney school and Saint Dominic high school. After a 20 plus year of managerial bookkeeping career for the company Sparkles, she left Ohio for Canada. 

She brought warmth and kindness to every chapter of her life. 

Marylou built a respected career as a talented bookkeeper for her company Midtown Forge in Welland. Her dedication and position were matched only by the care she showed to those around her. Colleagues and friends alike admired the professionalism and the genuine spirit she brought to her work. 

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Tamara Walter (Paul) of Buffalo, New York,  her son Jeremy Boback of Cleveland Ohio, her granddaughters Emily Walter (Ben), Claire Walter and grandson Jacob.  Stepchildren Patrick Demers, (Sylvie) of Sturgeon Falls, Philip (Christine) of Chippawa and Nicole Tobias (Mike) of Port Colborne, granddaughters Arlie and Harper Tobias and grandsons Christian and Cole Demers. 

She leaves behind, Brother Larry, (Sue) Wendt of Berlin Centre Ohio, a cousin Linda Skillington, (Chris) of Florida and cousins Gary Keenan and Rick Keenan (Dianne) of Ohio.

 Marylou was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Mary Wendt (Sovik) of Youngstown and her brother Bill Wendt (Jackie) of Texas 

Passionate traveller, Marylou found great joy exploring the world with her husband and best friend Jackie Wendt, ( sister in law) of Houston Texas. A special thank you to Paula in Florida for her devoted friendship.

Whether near or far, she embraced each journey with enthusiasm and a deep appreciation for new experiences. 

Her love for family, family gatherings, and shared adventures left lasting memories for all who knew her.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date for family and friends to honour Marylou‘s memory and joy she brought into the lives of others. 

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.

I love you babe.❤️
