July 12, 2023
Mary Ann Pasqualichio Muracco, 87, of Dunmore, died Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at home. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Joseph F. Muracco.
Born in Dunmore, she was the daughter of the late Canio and Angelina Cantarella Pasqualichio. A graduate of Dunmore High School and prior to retirement, she worked at Spotless Cleaners and the Green Ridge Club. She was loved by co-workers and all those she served.
Mary’s family was her life and cooking and cheering for her Yankees were her passions. For years, she was an avid bowler and whether a strike, a spare or a gutter ball, she and her teammates always had fun.
Mary’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. John Lundin, a caring and compassionate cardiologist who did all he could and always made Mary feel like she was his only patient. We are so grateful for all of her lifelong friends and family members and especially, her grade school friend, Carmel Panasuck and her longtime running buddy and sister-in-law, Dolly Meckwood and her Yankee fan buddy, Angela Kosydar and a man who she loved and was so happy to spend night after night during the last year…watching the Yankees and her game shows, her brother Lou Pasqualichio.
On her last day, she was blessed to spend time with her cousin, Larry Nicolais, whom she helped raise. Surviving are daughters, Frani Kumar and husband, Sanjay, South Carolina, Gigi Muracco and husband, Bill Hessmiller, Dunmore, and son Gary Muracco and wife, Linda, Dunmore; 11 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; brothers Lou and Cheech Pasqualichio, Dunmore; several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her son, Joey Muracco; her sisters, Ann, Moe, Angela and Jean, and brothers, Canio and Weeks.
