Mary "Mitzi" Legath, 90, of Northampton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at LVHN 17th St. Inpatient Hospice. She was the wife of the late Ulrich J. "Rick" Legath, who passed in 2008. Born the oldest of three sisters in Bernau, Hungary, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Mary (Schmalzel) Wolfinger. The family was displaced to Germany following WWII and then immigrated in 1950 to the United States. Once the family settled in Northampton, she worked as a nanny in Allentown to help her family financially. After she married, she worked for many years in the garment industry and then part-time at the Northampton High School cafeteria. She embraced her Austrian heritage by cooking and baking many traditional Hungarian dishes, most notably stretch dough strudel. Mary enjoyed bingo, lottery, and gardening. She had a "green thumb," taking great pride in her flower garden, plants, and an elaborate Christmas village display each holiday. Mary enjoyed many years of polka dancing and traveling with her husband. She was a member of Queenship of Mary Catholic Church in Northampton, Coplay Flower Club, and the Young at Heart Senior Group.

She is survived by her son, Richard and wife, Constance, of Bethlehem; daughter, Linda Wejkszner and husband, Allen, of Slatington; grandchildren, Jordan Legath (Marcella), Kellyn Legath, Taylor Wejkszner-Renner (Luke), and Brooke Wejkszner; great-granddaughter, Lillian Legath; and many nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by sisters, Pauline Macchia (2016) and Margaret Hudak (2022).
