Mary M. Gasswint, 63, passed away Sunday, April 12th, 2026 at her home in Mechanicsburg, PA with her family. Born March 7th, 1963 at Harrisburg Hospital Pennsylvania, daughter of the late Joseph A. Yesconis and Catherine M. Yesconis.
She was a graduate of Harrisburg Area Community College where she earned her Associate in Nursing. She served as a Registered Nurse for 28 years at various hospitals including Holy Spirit, Hershey Medical Center, and Helen Simpson Rehab. She enjoyed her time in wound care nursing and providing comfort to those in need.
She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Randy; their son, Tyler; sisters Susan Archer, Kathleen McCurdy, and Patricia Holjes; brothers Steve Yesconis and Ken Yesconis; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.
