Mary Beth (Davidson) Wisniewski, 84, of South Bend, IN, passed away Saturday, September 12, 2026. She was born on November 16, 1941, in Mishawaka, IN, to the late Hubert and Elizabeth D. (Wehrmeyer) Davidson.
Mary is survived by her husband of 65 years, Thomas Michael Wisniewski of South Bend, IN; her children, David E. (Jane) Wisniewski of Terre Haute, and Gail A. (Andy) Mesecar of West Lafayette; and grandchildren, Amy Wisniewski, Blake (Michelle) Wisniewski, Monica Mesecar, and Lauren Mesecar.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her brothers, John (Pat) Davidson and William (Barb) Davidson.
Tom and Mary were members of St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church. Mary worked as a Human Resource Manager at Aucilla Inc. for 25 years, before her retirement in 2009. Throughout her life, Mary graciously gave her time to others including volunteering at CASA and more recently working in the shoe department at the Christ Child Society. She was also a member of a number of organizations such as the Rivers Bend Questers, the South Bend Art Museum, and the Potawatomi Zoo. Mary was an avid reader and enjoyed taking bridge lessons and playing bridge at the South Bend Bridge Club. She was lucky to remain close to a number of her bridge club friends for over 50 years. Mary was always a supermom and enjoyed planning “Griswold Style” family vacations when her kids were young, which grew into her love of planning annual family gatherings and several international trips with Tom in their retirement.
