Mary Ione (Connelly) Sitton was born November 5, 1934 in Wellston to Clarence and Nora (Grover) Connelly.  She passed away May 14, 2023 in Chandler at the age of 88.
Ione grew up in the Wellston where she graduated with the Wellston Class of 1953.  She enjoyed cooking and pets.  She could take any recipe and add that extra flavor and touch to make it delightful. She was always giving away her homemade cookies.

Her family would like to thank the staff at the Chandler Therapy & Living Center for their kindness and care they showed Ione.
A graveside memorial service will be held Friday, May 26, 2023 at the Star Valley Cemetery.  Memorial contributions can be made to the National Alzheimer’s Association. Arrangements are under the direction of Lehman Funeral Home of Wellston.
