Winifred ‘Wendy’ (Jones) Flannery
OBITUARY
Winifred “Wendy” (Jones) Flannery, 74, of Scranton, entered into eternal rest peacefully on September 10, 2026.
A lifelong resident of Scranton, Wendy was born on October 26, 1951. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was the daughter of the late William “Deacon” and Marie Healey Jones.
She was a member of St. Ann’s Basilica Church in West Scranton and a 1969 graduate of St. Patrick’s High School.
She was the devoted wife of Thomas Flannery, with whom she would have shared 49 years of marriage on September 30th.
She was employed by Advantage Sales and Marketing, Inc. for many years and, prior to her retirement, was employed by Pennsylvania Paper and Supply Company.
In addition to being a dedicated mother who always put her family, including her grandchildren, first, Wendy enjoyed many things in life. She loved reading, crocheting blankets, cooking, dancing, and entertaining, especially during the holidays. She found great joy in bringing her family together and creating special memories that will be cherished for years to come.
Wendy will be lovingly remembered by her children, Tanya Morgan and her husband, Ken, of Sturges; January Hughes and her husband, James, of Pittston; and Thomas Jr., of Scranton.
Wendy’s greatest joy in life was her family, especially the time she spent with her grandchildren. Nothing made her happier than being surrounded by the people she loved. She was a proud Grammy to Paige and Cameron Morgan and Isabella Desmarais, all of whom brought her great joy. Her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart, and she treasured every moment spent with them.
She is also survived by her three brothers, William Jr. and his wife, Beverly, and Alfred, both of Scranton; and Kenneth and his wife, Carol, of Tunkhannock, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her beloved parents; her sister, Marie Battle; her brother-in-law, Thomas Battle; and her sister-in-law, Ann Jones.
Though she may no longer be with us, the love she gave her family will live on in their hearts forever. Her memory will be cherished, her stories will be shared, and the love she had for her family will never be forgotten.
A Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 AM at St. Ann Basilica Church, St. Ann St. in West Scranton. Entombment will follow at the Cathedral Cemetery. Those attending the funeral are asked to go directly to the church.
Family and friends may pay their respects on Wednesday 4 – 7:00 PM at the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 N. Main Ave., Scranton.
