Mary Emma PASQUALE, 89, of Germania, PA

Mary Emma PASQUALE, 89, of Germania, PA, passed away Tuesday, November 10, 2026.  Born May 20, 1937, in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Elwood Raymond and Mary Emma Hower Swanson

On June 25, 1961, Mary married Louis Pasquale, and together they built a home filled with family, good food, and more than a few cats.  Mary never met an animal she didn't love, but cats held a special place in her heart, and there always seemed to be room for one more.  Her kitchen was the heart of the home.  She was a wonderful cook and baker who showed her love through the meals and treats she shared with family and friends.

Mary found joy outdoors, too.  She loved tending her garden and spent many happy hours horseback riding.  Music was a lifelong passion, and it carried right into her faith.

A devout Christian, Mary was a faithful member of Valley Alliance Church in Ansonia, where she shared her gift by playing the piano for the congregation.  She also gave her time to the church clothing drive, helping to care for those in need.  Her faith guided everything she did, and she found great comfort and fellowship in her church family.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Lisa Anne McDivitt; her sons, Louis (Deborah) Pasquale, Jr. and David Frank (Lisa) Pasquale; four grandchildren; two great-granddaughters; nieces and nephews.  In addition to her beloved husband, Louis Pasquale, she was predeceased by her brother, Elwood Raymond Swanson, II.

She will be dearly missed.

In keeping with the family's wishes, no service will be held.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Potter County Animal Assistance Program - www.pottercountyanimalassistanceproj.org - a cause that would have meant so much to Mary.

Arrangements are under the direction of Olney-Foust Funeral Homes & Crematory, Ulysses, PA.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.olneyfoust.com.
