Mary Kellner
In Loving Memory
Mary Kellner, 72, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2025, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Born on December 7, 1952, in Greenville, South Carolina, Mary lived a life marked by devotion to her family, a passion for hospitality, and a heart full of generosity.
Mary was the cherished wife of the late Helmut Kellner and the beloved daughter of Sylvia and Edward Raynes. She was also preceded in death by her brothers Edward Raynes and Anthony Raynes, her son-in law Vincent Bonser, as well as her devoted Brandi dog.
A woman of remarkable warmth and dedication, Mary poured her heart into everything she did—especially when it came to caring for others. Her love for cooking blossomed into a successful catering business and event hall that served her community for many years. Whether preparing meals for clients or hosting family gatherings during holidays and special occasions, Mary found true joy in bringing people together around food and celebration.
She treasured time spent with her family and especially loved vacationing at the beach—a place where laughter echoed and memories were made. Her selflessness and unwavering support left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know her.
Mary is lovingly remembered by her daughters Rosemary Bonser and Maria Diener (Rick); her grandchildren Kayla (Wes), Kyle, Kasen, Elam, Kayden, and Ashlyn; her niece Meaghan Slack (Brian); Alan Raynes (Natalie), with whom she shared a close bond; and her sister Linda Laurie. Each of them carries forward the legacy of love and care that Mary so generously gave throughout her life.
May Mary’s memory bring comfort to all who knew her and continue to inspire acts of kindness in the lives she touched. A Memorial Service will be held on August 30, 2025 at Epiphany United Methodist Church 6635 Loveland-Miamiville Rd. Visitation starts at 10:30am, service beginning at 11:00am with luncheon after.
