\t\t\tMadeleine A. (Davis) Deeb \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Madeleine A. (Davis) Deeb, a lifelong resident of Scranton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday at Elan Skilled Nursing Center. She was 85 years old.<\/p>\n
\nShe is survived by the \u201clight of her life\u201d, her husband Edward J. Deeb. Wed on September 4, 1965, the couple were married for 60 years.<\/p>\n
\nBorn in Scranton on March 16, 1941, and a \u201ccoal miner\u2019s daughter\u201d to the late William and Lucille (Hopkins) Davis, Madeleine was a graduate of West Scranton High School\u2019s Class of 1959. Along with raising her two daughters, she went on to work as a bookkeeper for Quaker Insurance, Woodlawn Dairy Farm and Bankers Casualty and Life Co. She then worked alongside her husband at his business, Country Deli Delights in Moscow, before retiring from Maseychik Associates Insurance.<\/p>\n
\nTo be remembered in countless ways, Madeleine always had a good cliche lined-up for any scenario. She enjoyed her Globe Store shopping with her sister, Irene, and made her 4:00 PM coffee brewing both a ritual and daily family event. Certainly independent, the role she mastered most was the role of caregiver. However, her favorite role became the role of an adoring grandmother. Now at peace, she will never be forgotten by her loved ones.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLife is short, even at the longest.\u201d -Madeleine.<\/p>\n
\nAlong with Edward, she is survived by her loving daughters, Maria Ligorio and husband Donald of Scranton and Jennifer Hetsko and husband Scott of Henrietta, N.Y.; her six grandchildren, Anna, Lena and Cosmo Ligorio and Logan, Jack and Julia Hetsko; her siblings, James Davis and wife Alexis of North Wales and Irene Schlittler of Moscow; her brother-in-law, Ramon Deeb of Allentown; her sister-in-law, Lorraine Hazzouri of Scranton; and many nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n
\nShe was also preceded in death by her brother, Keith Davis, her sister-in-law, Marion Davis, and her brother-in-law, Jake Schlittler.<\/p>\n
\nHer family would like to extend its gratitude to the entire staff of Elan Nursing Center, especially 3rd floor, for its five years of care and compassion to both Madeleine and her family.<\/p>\n
\nFuneral services are scheduled to begin on Tuesday at 9:15 AM from the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 North Main Avenue, Scranton, with a 10:00 AM Funeral Mass at Saint Ann Maronite Church, West Scranton, to be celebrated by Rev. Antoun Youssef, Pastor. Burial will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery.<\/p>\n
\nFamily and friends may pay their respects on Monday between 4-7:00 PM at the funeral home.<\/p>\n
