HARRINGTON - Mary Sue Latka, of Harrington, died Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, at Bayhealth-Milford Memorial. She was 68. Mrs. Latka received her degree from Burlington County College in New Jersey. Mrs. Latka retired in 2005 from Ocean Spray Cranberries after being there for 15 years as an Environmental Health and Safety Coordinator. She moved to Delaware in October 2006 with her husband. Unfortunately his health took a turn for the worse, and he passed away in mid 2007. They had a great love and were true soul mates. He always referred to her lovingly as a "piece of work." After her husband's untimely death, Mrs. Latka decided to volunteer her time for a worthwhile cause. She became a volunteer for the Delaware Department of Justice, as a Senior Victim Advocate in conjunction with the Attorney General Office. She started in Dover but was moved to Georgetown to work in the domestic violence section. She loved her job there very much. In her spare time, she enjoyed crafts especially stained glass. She loved shopping at Wal-Mart as well. She will be remembered as a very fun person who was also feisty and stubborn at times. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank J. and Yvette G. Leger; and her husband, Stanley Latka. She is survived by a sister, Frances Cronin of Coon Rapids, Minn.; brothers, Peter Leger of Hilo, Hawaii, Richard Leger of Powder Springs, Ga.; very good friend, Trina McCloskey; and cats, Suzy Q and Sammy. Memorial Services will be 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012, at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, Milford. Interment will be in Hollywood Cemetery, Harrington.
