Maryann Bitsko

January 01, 1970

Maryann Jane Bitsko, or “Nana” as she was fondly called by her beloved family, sadly passed away Friday, April 1, 2011. While having recently celebrated her 70th birthday with family and friends, she lived more like she was turning 30. Whether it was waking up at the crack of dawn to catch the sale of the century, volunteering for the local hospice or babysitting her most precious great-granddaughter, Aubrey, she was constantly on the move. She was a proud member of the Silver Sneakers, always spoiled her sweet dog, Aubrie, ran with the Red Hat Ladies and lead many outings and celebrations as the Danburry Farms Activity Director. Many people’s lives have been touched by Maryann’s kind heart and generous spirit. She always had a way of bringing people together and enriching their lives. Our “Nana” will be deeply missed and is survived by her loving family, Andrew Margo, Donald and Eileen Aubrey, Dawn, Benjamin and Aubrey Morelli, Bruce, Evangeline, Alexa and Jared Bitsko, Kristen, Rebecca, Nicholas and Brittany Bitsko, Robert Sr., Robert Jr., Thomas and James Matoka. Friends will be received from 2 to 9 p.m. Monday at the DEVLIN FUNERAL HOME located on Rochester Road in Cranberry Township. Funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday in St. Ferdinand’s Parish also located on Rochester Road in Cranberry Township. Interment will be immediately following the funeral Mass at St. Mark Cemetery in McKees Rocks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching and live like it’s heaven on earth.” – Mark Twain.
