Mary M. Kaufman

Mary M. Kaufman, age 87, went home to be with the Lord on November 28, 2019. Born in Spencer, W. Va., she lived in the Akron area most of her life. Mary worked as secretary at K.O. Jeep, where she and her husband, Bruce were co-owners for more than 50 years. She was a longtime, loyal and active member of the Brown Street Church of Christ. Mary enjoyed playing card games with her family, bowling on many leagues, and playing marbles with her children – because she could always beat them!
