Mary Esther Arcuri, 91, went home to be with her Lord on March 3, 2016. She was preceded in death by her husband, Domenick A. Arcuri, and sister Kitty Fogle.
Born to the late Esther and Harry Frey, Mary was raised in York, PA, and graduated from William Penn High School in 1942.
Northeast Pennsylvania was her home for the past 42 years. She lived in Tunkhannock for many years, and was known and loved as "Little Mary" in her community. Friends remember her as an employee of the Ames Department Store, a faithful member of the Baptist Church of Tunkhannock and a 22 year volunteer at Tunkhannock Manor.
In 2011, Mary relocated to Clarks Summit, where she was an active member of Parker Hill Community Church. A fun-loving, generous, and joyful Christian, Mary will be greatly missed by family and friends.
Heartfelt thanks to her caregivers at Scranton Manor, Abington Manor, and Traditional Hospice. A special thank you to her Pastors at Parker Hill Community Church and friends who visited Mary during her illness.
