Mary Ann “Snooks” Feightling, 68, of New Philadelphia, died May 22, 2010, at her home, following a week-long illness. Born June 8, 1941, at Union Hospital, Dover, Mary Ann was a daughter of the late George N. and Anna Feightling. She graduated from New Philadelphia High School in 1959, and remained active in organizing class reunions and serving as the auctioneer for class fundraisers. As a young lady, she went to work for the former O’Neils, Alliance, and later the Broken Wheel Antique Shop. She worked as a caretaker of elderly members in the community of Lisbon, and worked for a decade as a bookkeeper for Damiascus & Columbiana Auctioneers, Lisbon. Later in life, she cleaned the offices of Center Township in Columbiana County, and refinished antique furniture. A member of Tabor Ridge Community Church, Mary Ann will be remembered as “Country Bumpkin” - her handle on Citizen’s Band Radio - and spent many hours monitoring emergency channel 9. Her memberships also included the Fairfield Grange, the Johnny Appleseed Festival Association of Lisbon, and the React Team, also based out of Lisbon. Surviving are her companion, Gene Donofrio of New Philadelphia; an aunt, Regina Paisley of Mineral City; and numerous cousins and second cousins. She was preceded in death by two aunts and two uncles with whom she was close, Eugena Waltz and Mary Tibrea and Jacob and Charles Montan. Graveside services will be held May 27, 2010, at 2 p.m., in East Avenue Cemetery, New Philadelphia, with Rev. John Dunn officiating. Calling hours will be private. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Tuscarawas County, 201 W. Third St., Dover 44622.
