Mary M. Wachter

Mary M. (Sheffield) Wachter died at her residence, surrounded by her loving family, on Thursday, March 15, 2018. She was born on April 28, 1955 to her late parents, Jesse and Rose (Barone) Sheffield.

Mary graduated from Dunkirk High School and attended Jamestown Business College. After college, Mary worked as a billing clerk at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk for over 30 years.

Mary and her husband, the late Randall Wachter, raised three wonderful children, a daughter, and twin sons. Her immediate and extended family meant everything to her.

Mary loved to celebrate the holidays, which was evident from her festively decorated house and the special foods she liked to cook for her family. She took pride in everything she did. She was very courageous and never let her illness stop her from doing the things she wanted to accomplish.

Mary's survivors include her children, Amanda, William and James Wachter. She is further survived by her sister, Dorothy Derby; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. But most especially, Mary is survived by her loving, faithful companion, Bella, who was always by her side. Besides her parents and husband, Mary was predeceased by her sister, Bertalee San George; her brother, David Sheffield; and brothers-in-law, Bruce Derby and Sam San George.

Mary's funeral service will be held on Wednesday, March 21 at 11 a.m. in the Fantauzzi Funeral Home, 82 East Main St., Fredonia. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral service and may call the funeral home on Tuesday, March 20 from 4-7 p.m. Interment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery.

Donations to help defray the funeral costs would be gratefully appreciated by the family.

All arrangements have been entrusted to Michael R. Fantauzzi, director.
