Marion Nealon, 83, of Ashley, died Wednesday morning, March 9, 2011, in Golden Living Center, East Mountain, Wilkes-Barre.
She was born April 23, 1927, a daughter to the late Leo and Rose Conrad of Wilkes-Barre. She was an adored wife, mother, nana, great-grandmother, cousin, aunt and sister.
Marion collected friends wherever she went; she was well-loved by her co-workers at RCA and fellow members of the St. Leo’s Cyrenians. Most of her time was spent enjoying the company of family and friends and entertaining them with good food, great stories, and lots of laughter. It was impossible not to be brightened by Marion’s presence – she truly lit up any room and was the life and spirit of every gathering.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Eleanore Flattery.
Marion is survived by her husband of 62 years, Robert E. Nealon; daughters, Kathleen Rusak and her husband, John, Ashley, and Kelly Connelly and her husband, Patrick, Ashley; grandchildren, Michael and his wife, Jen; Kerry, Jenny, Matt and Molly Rusak, Patrick and Sean Connelly; two great-grandchildren, Kiley and Aislyn Rusak; as well as nieces and nephews.
