Devoted Wife. Adoring Mother. Beloved Mimi.
It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of devoted wife, adoring mother, and beloved Mimi, Maryann (Joyce) Whiteman of North Huntingdon. She was surrounded by her loving husband and her five children at her passing when she peacefully went back to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

Maryann is survived by her husband Gary of 34 years. Her children include Michael Ryan of Moon Township, Melissa Anne (John Bachman) of Eighty Four, Matthew Wayne (Erica) of Canfield, Ohio, Mark Zachary and Max Tyler, both at home. She was also the beloved Mimi of Brantley Rose and Jansen Kate (John and Melissa Bachman). Additionally, she is survived by her wonderful brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jesse and Patty Whiteman of North Huntingdon, and her four nephews. Maryann was extremely thankful to have a strong foundation of friends who shared a decades-old Friday night card club together. As a proud mother and member of the Norwin community, Maryann also spent many years volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of America, and the Norwin Soccer Club. From this she was immensely blessed with many new and loving friends. She was a long time pool company employee in the North Huntingdon area, having worked at the old Aquadoc Pools and most recently at Artistic Pools. The Whiteman Family would like to express our sincere gratitude for the kindness of our friends in the Norwin Community who made meals and sent prayers during this most difficult time. Additionally, we extend eternal thanks to the nursing staffs at both Montefiore and Magee Hospitals who worked tirelessly to support Maryann during her hard fought battle. In this life, may we all remain “Mimi Strong” and know that angels truly walk among us. Friends will be received on Sunday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the James W. Shirley Funeral Home, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon, PA. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday at 10 a.m. in St. Agnes Church, North Huntingdon. Interment in Irwin Union Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society. www.shirleyfuneralhome.com.
