Mary Beth Pomeroy, 64, of Traverse City, passed away on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at Munson Medical Center.
Mary was born in Ludington, Michigan on August 4, 1959 and grew up in Traverse City, Michigan with her four brothers. As the only girl she joined right in with the boys and earned her competitive spirit. She graduated from Saint Francis High School in 1977.
She married the love of her life, Clark Pomeroy, on August 24, 1979 and they have lived happily enjoying each other and many activities for 44 years together. They created and ran Pomeroy Home Furnishings as a reputable family owned and operated business. Mary was very proud of her family and no one did motherhood better. Together they played many sports and put in many miles to events all over the country supporting their kids and grandkids.
Mary enjoyed tennis, softball, pickleball, riding her bike, reading and playing games with family and friends. She was very skilled at creating activities to do with her grandkids that they will always cherish.
Mary is survived by her loving husband, Clark Pomeroy, daughter, Kim Eising (Tyler) and son, Dan Pomeroy (Rhonda), grandkids, Kylee Eising, Zach Eising and Luke Pomeroy; siblings; Larry Hathaway (Diana), Rick Hathaway (Pam), Paul Hathaway (Maryanna), Chuck Hathaway (Nancy), brother-in-law, Rick Pomeroy (Jane) and brother-in-law, Scott Pomeroy (Chris), Jennifer Hegener (John), Beth Price and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
