Mary Hanausek-Peterman, a loving daughter, wife, mother, sister, and friend, received her angel wings on Wednesday, June 15, at her home in Winter Garden. Mary was born on September 1, 1937, in New York, to Rita and Frank Hanausek. On September 4, 1955, she married her high school sweetheart and raised three daughters, Judy, Susan and Debbie, and son, Joseph.
She and her husband Joe moved to Clermont in 1972. She worked for many years at South Lake Hospital and later at Health Central during which time, she gained many friends.
Mary and Joe were happily married for 67 years. During her battle with Alzheimers, she never forgot the ones she loved. She’ll be watching over them from above.
