Marianne Morsey

1954 - 2025

Marianne Morsey, 71, of Harwick, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025. She was born in McKeesport on Jan. 16, 1954, as the fifth child to the late Bernard George and Eileen Doris (Welcker) Morsey. As a baby, Marianne was stricken by viral encephalitis, changing her life and that of her family forever. In spite of numerous hospital stays, Mare was a happy, sweet girl. She loved trains and always reminded everyone to "stay off the tracks" if she heard one approaching. She was also a music lover. The Beatles, Elvis, the Monkees, and Tom Jones were just a few artists that were always on the record player morning to night. After a spinal injury, Mare spent 30 years at Passavant Homes in Harwick. There were many wonderful caregivers who surrounded her with love through all of her difficult days. The family would like to thank all of you for loving their "Mare-Bear." Marianne is survived by her siblings, Kathleen (Pat) Looney, Susan (John) Pringle, Michael (Carol) Morsey, and Maureen (Mark) Matty; her nieces and nephews, Kristan Looney, Laurie (Steve) Truffer, Shawn (Monika) Pringle, Michael (Kerry) Pringle, Erin (Ryan) Schauer, Christopher (Simona) Morsey, and Amy (Juston) Dougherty; and by her great-nieces and great-nephews, Annalise and Daniel Livingston, Caitlin, Luke, and Allie Truffer, Riley and Brenan Schauer, Kylie and Kenzie Pringle, Valentina and Loredana Morsey, and Brooke and Mya Dougherty. All services are private at this time. Arrangements are by GILBERT FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY INC., 1638 Lincoln Way, White Oak, PA 15131, (412)672-6322. Troy J. Gilbert, director.
