Marion A. (Schwartz) McGlinchey

Marion A. McGlinchey, 96, formerly of Schuylkill Haven, passed away Sunday, Jan. 24, at Seton Manor, Orwigsburg, where she had been a resident.

Born April 18, 1924, in Schuylkill Haven, she was a daughter of the late Elmer and Edna (Loy) Schwartz.

She was the widow of William J. McGlinchey.

In addition to her parents and husband, Marion was preceded in death by her brother, Winfield L. Schwartz.

Marion is survived by two nephews, Richard Schwartz and his wife, Michelle Tau, of Cranbury, N.J., and Robert Schwartz and his wife, Cynthia, of Columbia, Mo.

She was an active member of Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church, Schuylkill Haven, throughout her life. She had a beautiful singing voice and enjoyed being in the church choir. Marion had retired from Pennsylvania National Bank, Cressona, after numerous years of service as a teller. 

Marion had a kind heart and a gentle soul and was deeply loved by those who knew her. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, as well as attending reunions of her husband's military unit. She was especially close to her nephews and took great interest in their lives. Marion also enjoyed watching her friends' children grow up. Many of her friends have remarked that she made them feel like they were members of her family. Marion was also devoted to looking after her parents in their later years.

Private entombment will be in St. Ambrose Mausoleum, Cressona. A memorial service is planned at a later date.
