Mary Carolyn Eilerman, age 82, of Florence, KY, passed away peacefully on August 30, 2025. Born on March 11, 1943, in Covington, KY, she was the beloved daughter of Ralph and Catherine Glatting Bresser. A devoted member of St. Paul Church in Florence, Mary found joy in her faith, family, and friends. Her greatest treasures were her granddaughters, Olivia and Anna, with whom she spent countless joyful moments. She delighted in watching "The Andy Griffith Show" during the afternoons and relished her peaceful times on the front porch with her husband, Tom, for many years. She was also well known for her kindness and gifts she lovingly gave to those she cared for. Mary was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Thomas Eilerman; her brother, Mike Bresser; and her brother-in-law, Tom Hovel. She is lovingly survived by her sons, Dan Eilerman (Wendy) and John Eilerman; her granddaughters, Olivia and Anna; her sister, Marlene Hovel; and her sister-in-law, Marney Bresser.
