Mary Anne Bosak Mureddu, 67, of Shinglehouse, PA
Mary Anne Bosak Mureddu, 67, of Shinglehouse, PA, passed away on July 8, 2023 at UPMC Williamsport after a lengthy illness.
Mary Anne was born on February 19, 1956 to John and Evelyn (Haner) Bosak.
Mary Anne attended and graduated in 1974 from Oswayo Valley in Shinglehouse, PA. While in school she was a member of the rifle team, National Honor Society, drama club, chorus, band front, the Green Quill, the Gleaner, the girl’s basketball team as manager, and Varsity club. She went on to graduate from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s degree in social work.
Mary Anne held various jobs throughout the years, most recently as a bar tender for the Shinglehouse American Legion. Mary Anne was a very dedicated and hard working woman prior to her health declining. She could often be found working in her gardens, caring for her animals, or taking a leisurely drive on the back roads listening to Janis Joplin. Mary Anne loved to travel and go on family vacations, especially to the Naples, FL beaches.
She was known for her quick wit, great sense of humor, her ferocity, and piercing blue eyes. One never had to wonder what she was thinking, if her mouth did not say it – her eyes would. Mary Anne possessed a kind and compassionate heart and instinctively took care of her family and friends. She was unwavering in her support.
Mary Anne’s greatest loves were her children and grandchildren. She was a true matriarch and will be missed endlessly.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Jessica Mureddu (Eric Schreiber) of Coudersport, Justin Mureddu of Shinglehouse, and Andrew Mureddu (Tina Bauder) of Port Allegany; and grandchildren – Alyssa, Michael, Rowan, Emil, Amzi, Lucas, and Hunter.
Mary Anne was predeceased by her parents.
In honor of Mary Anne’s wishes, there will be no funeral service.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Hess Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Collins Chapel, Galeton.
