Mary Nell Bohm, nee Crowe, an 84-year-old world traveler passed upon her final voyage after a valiant cancer fight on May 23, 2023.

Mary was born a bit too early in Evanston, IL to the dismay of St. Patrick and her Irish parents.

She was a graduate of UWM, BS Home Economics (MRS.)

Mary worked as a food stylist for Chicago's Paulson Picture Foods, preparing food used in photos for cookbooks, magazines, and corporation giants like Kraft, General Mills & Playboy. Mashed potatoes never looked so chill.

She was faithful, funny, generous, kind, mother, philanthropic, quirky, giver of advice, stubborn, talented chef, teacher, and carrot provider to mounted holiday event officers.

Mary was also a participating member of Heifer International, Thresholds, Holy Name Cathedral, Friends of Bill W, and Girl Scouts of America.

She is survived by her husband John Achlin Bohm for more than 60 years; children John Bohm II and Cheryl Bohm; and grandchildren Thomas Batista and Trisha Reichard; additions to her herd include anyone accepting her as a bonus Grandma.

She is preceded in death by her parents Thomas Crowe and Marie Hock; daughter Mary Rose and son Thomas Earl Bohm; brother Thomas Crowe and sister Susan (nee Crowe) Hammer.

Family and friends will meet on Thursday, June 1, 2023, at Holy Name Cathedral, 735 North State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60654, for a 9:30 a.m. Visitation, followed by a 10:30 a.m. Funeral Mass.
