Mary Kathleen Lydic, 33, of Zanesville, passed away suddenly on May 20th, 2017, at Genesis Hospital. Her father, William J. Lydic of Millersburg, preceded her in death. She was devoted to her family who survives her: fiancée’ and longtime companion, Vincent Licón, daughter, Emma Ivey and sons, Daniel, Dylan and Luke Licón. She’s survived by her mother, Rebecca Englehart of Cape Coral, Florida, sisters, Kari (JR) Shumate of Dresden and Krista (Michael) Brooks of Zanesville, Aunts Susie (Jerry) Moore and Carol (Bill) Kohler of Zanesville and Uncle Charles (Judy) Yontz of Summerfield. She will also be missed by mother‐in‐law, Pamela Preston of Zanesville, sister‐in‐law, Jen (Mandy) Licon‐Conner of Columbus, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. In addition, she was loved by her best friend, Bethany Shawger and family, as well as hundreds of close friends and work family. Mary loved to be with people and worked with Buffalo Wild Wings and The Barn. She was currently employed with the Smiling Goat Saloon where she also had a smile for everyone she met. Mary also gave the gift of life through organ and tissue donation. She was a devoted partner, an amazing mother, a loving sister and daughter, best friend and a crack baseball coach. She loved all kids like her own and didn’t hesitate to snuggle them if given the chance. Always the brightest smile in the room, Mary was quick to offer a kind word and had a laugh that was impossible to resist. A champion finder of fun, she could make anyone laugh, regardless of how they thought they felt. She was deeply loved and her sweet spirit will be missed by all. A celebration of her life will be held at 5:00 PM, Thursday, May 25, 2017, at the Hillis, Combs & Nestor Funeral Home, 935 Forest Avenue, Zanesville, with Pastor Mark Douglas officiating. The family will be receiving friends from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at the funeral home. A more casual memorial gathering will also be hosted by her work family at The Smiling Goat following the Celebration of Life Service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to assist with Mary and Vince’s children and envelopes will be available.
