Anna Marie Leary Stay

Anna Marie Leary Stay, 93, passed away on January 8, 2021, peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family. Born on August 30, 1927 in Beaver, Pennsylvania, to the late Francis Daniel and Anastasia Roach Leary. “Hunsey”, as she was known by her family and close friends, loved life, her family and her dear friends. As the dementia took hold, her one desire was to “go home” and see her husband, brothers, sisters and friends who went before her. She will always be remembered for her infectious laugh and caring spirit. She was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Michael J. Stay, Sr. and by her brothers Gerald, Daniel and James and her sisters, Margaret Leary New, Mary Leary Swineford and Elizabeth Nora Semes. She is survived by daughters, Nora and Amy Stay of Monaca, PA, her son, Michael Stay, of Beaver, who was her dedicated caregiver, sister, Frances Leary Depaolis of Palatine, Illinois along with many, many nieces, nephews and cousins. Friends will be received on Monday January 11, 2020 from 2pm-4pm and 6pm-8pm at the NOLL FUNERAL HOME INC., 333 Third Street in Beaver, Pennsylvania.
