Life Legacy



PAEDAE, MARY M., 82 of Sebring, died, Tuesday, February 1, 2011, after a lengthy illness. Mary was born in Sebring, FL and was owner of Hobby Hill Florist, working together with her family for over 35 years. Mary’s great love, Bill Paedae, her husband of 49 years and best friend, preceded her in death in 2003. She was a fearless warrior in his battle with cancer and remained positive and strong in her own battle. She loved her husband, children and family and tirelessly helped them. An artist, she was a floral designer, drew, painted and sewed; and loved to dance with Bill. She was a former Girl Scout Troop Leader and former member of the Salvation Army Board. She once sewed 22 dresses for less fortunate children for Easter, lovingly stitched by hand, adding gloves and socks so they would have the perfect Easter outfit. Mary was preceded in death by her parents, husband and brother, James H. Wyandt. She will always be loved and missed by her children and their spouses, Catherine A. McLeod, Tampa, FL, Ladonna (Hector) Paedae-Rodriguez and William H. (Maggie) Paedae, all of Sebring; brother, Stanley (Barbara) Wyandt, Seffner, FL; sisters-in-law, Lazette Paedae, Brooksville, F; Loretta Wyandt, Oldsmar, FL, Juanita, Tampa and Delores Pierce, GA; grandchildren, Warren McLeod, Jose A. Ruiz and Veronica M. Ruiz; great grandson, Julian Ruiz; numerous nieces and nephews; special friend, Susie Carter, Margaret Handley, all of whom she loved dearly. PeOui is now with Dear. The family will receive friends, 5-7 pm, Friday at Morris Funeral Chapel. A mass will be celebrated, 10:00 am, Saturday at St. Catherine Catholic Church.

Billy and Ladonna, I'm so sorry for your loss of you mother. How I remember going in to the store many years and seeing her and your dad. I'm sorry I missed the service, I didn't know of the passing until after the service was over. I've been praying for you and family and know the pain of missing both parents. It's hard! Love ya'll, Jackie
