Mary Theresa (Fox) Gascon, 59, of Lusby, MD, formerly of Milford, OH passed away on August 2, 2012 in Prince Frederick, MD while valiantly battling cancer. She was born on May 16, 1953 in Cincinnati, OH to the late James F. Fox and Marie L. Fox.

Mary had a 30 year career as an outstanding CRNA and was well known to many of us throughout this area.  She fought her painful battle with uterine cancer with her usual upbeat attitude and smile that endeared her to all of us lucky enough to have known and worked with her. 

She leaves behind a step daughter (Dory) who admired Mary enough to follow in her path as a CRNA nearby.  She was a dog lover and at the time of her death had four "spoiled four-legged" canines that kept her great company over the past few months and stayed with her thoughout it all. Mary was an avid world traveler, gifted artist & gemologist, and was a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in MD and greater Cincinnati, OH.

Mary is survived by her brother William P. Fox and wife Susan of Milford, OH and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, James F. Fox, Jr., and sister, Marilynn Fox Chestnut.

The family will receive friends on Monday, August 6, 2012 from 10:30AM – 12 Noon in the Rausch Funeral Home, 20 American Lane, Lusby, MD where a funeral service will be held at 12 Noon with Rev. Steve Fehrman officiating. Interment will be private.
