Ann Coury, age 83, formerly of West Scranton, passed away Saturday evening at the Kingston Commons. Born in Scranton on November 29, 1928, daughter of the late Ralph and Lillian (Labeba) Tulaney Coury, Ann was a graduate of the former Central High School, Class of 1946. In 1957, she earned her Bachelors Degree in Education from Marywood College. A lifelong school teacher, she last taught in the Abington Heights School District. She was also a member of both St. Ann Maronite and St. Joseph Melkite Churches, both in West Scranton. Ann had an enormous heart, donating much of her time, energy and money toward numerous philanthropic efforts. She regularly read for the blind, and, after 30 years of spending her summers volunteering in Lourdes, France, she received an award for her years of dedicated service. An avid sewer, her favorite hobby was needlepoint stitching. A loving sister, aunt and friend, she will be dearly missed. Her brothers, Joseph, John, George, Mansore (Manny) and Edward Coury, and her sister, Marcia Coury, also preceded her in death. She is survived by many beloved nieces and nephews. A private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday by Rev. Alex J. Hazzouri at St. Ann Maronite Church, West Scranton. Interment will follow in Sacred Heart Parish Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Ann's name to St. Jude Children's Hospital (501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN, 38105). Arrangements are under the care of the Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 North Main Avenue, West Scranton.
