Mary McGoron

McGORON, Mary Ann "Midge", beloved daughter of Ted (Mary) and the late Mary Ann McGoron (nee Baehner); devoted sister of Casey (Val) Nastold, Jinx (Dave) Landis, Chickie McGoron, Pat (Terrie) McGoron, Chris (Kim) McGoron, Frank (Ellen) McGoron, Susie (Steve) Saskowsky, Tony (Manami) McGoron, Jeanne Jelly Bean (Kevin) O'Connor, and Dixie (Tommy) Hix. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews and extended family. Passed away on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at age 61 after a courageous battle with cancer. Midge spent most of her working career as a Printed Circuit Board Layout Engineer. One key piece of circuitry she designed was the interface keypad used in the da Vinci robotic surgical machines. Early in her career she was one of the first users of Computer Aided Design (CAD) workstations for performing the PC board layout task. She worked with the engineers who invented the Gerber file format which is now used everywhere in the world. Many of her suggestions were incorporated in successive models of Gerber workstations and helped establish the foundation upon which modern CAD PC board layout is based. Visitation will be held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 8815 E. Kemper Rd., Montgomery, OH on Monday, November 4, 2013 from 9 AM til time of Funeral Memorial Mass at 10 AM. The family will continue to greet friends after Mass. In lieu of flowers, memorials donations may be sent to the Development Dept., St. Margaret Hall, 1960 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45206.
