Mary Ann Tinneny

Mary Ann Tinneny, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother (or “Ga” as she was called lovingly by her grandsons), and aunt, passed away peacefully on June 28, 2025, at the age of 89. Born on September 8, 1935, Mary lived a life characterized by love, determination, and a strong commitment to her family and faith.

Mary was a beacon of strength and sentimentality, qualities that shone brightly in every aspect of her life. Her unwavering belief in the power of prayer guided her through even the most challenging times. In her later years, when attending mass in person became physically difficult, she found solace in watching Holy Mass on television, continually assuring her loved ones of her prayers for them.

She had a profound affection for her family, especially her grandsons. Mary delighted in attending their baseball games and was always eager for any adventure that involved making memories with them. Her family was her greatest hobby, and she dedicated herself to nurturing those relationships.

Mary's green thumb was evident in her beautiful garden, particularly her cherished African Violets. She enjoyed spending her days tending to her plants, loving the moments she could sit in the sun while surrounded by the beauty she cultivated. Her favorite places were the ballpark, the serene shore of North Wildwood, her backyard sanctuary, and the comforting embrace of the church, which nurtured her spirit.

Mary leaves behind her beloved son, James J. Tinneny, and his wife Jessica, along with her adored grandchildren, James, John Paul, and Joseph, and devoted nieces Sharon, Colleen, and Beth. She was preceded in death by her husband, James J. Tinneny, siblings Barbara, Joseph, Dorothy, and Kathleen, and parents Joseph and Dorothy (nee Kelter).

A visitation will be held on July 5, 2025, starting at 9:30 AM, followed by a funeral service at 10:30 AM at Sacred Heart Church, located at 105 Wilson Ave, Havertown, PA 19083. Interment at SS Peter and Paul Cemetery, Springfield, PA.

Mary will be remembered for her loving spirit, her drive, and her unwavering faith—a legacy that will continue to inspire her family and friends for years to come.
