MESSMORE MARY ANNE (MOORE) Died peacefully with her family by her side on January 11, 2016, in Baltimore, Maryland. Born to William and Anne Moore in 1950, Mary grew up in Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania. She is survived by her husband, John; her son, Ike; and her daughter, Lindsey, all of Baltimore; and her brothers, Sam Moore of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, and Rod Moore of Boca Raton, Florida. Mary's life was most remarkable for the effect she had on the people around her. She brought light and laughter to every room she entered. A rock of comfort and support for anyone grieving or feeling lonely, Mary loved to laugh and make others laugh, play games, cook, and spend time with friends. She loved her dogs, the mountains, music, boating, reading, and traveling. But most of all, she loved her family. For those fortunate enough to have met her, Mary will be remembered as one of the warmest and most thoughtful people the world has known. Generous and welcoming, she opened her home to everyone-friends and strangers alike-who needed a home-cooked meal or a safe haven. She was fiercely loyal to and supportive of those close to her and kind to everyone she met. Mary's family takes comfort in the knowledge that her legacy lives on through the immeasurable impact she had on others. While the joy and laughter that her memories evoke pale in comparison to her radiant physical presence, they ensure that she will never be forgotten. It is Mary's family's hope that all who knew her will honor her memory by striving to treat others with the grace and kindness that she did. It was the size of Mary's heart that made the world a better place. A celebration of Mary's life will be held at 5 p.m. on Saturday, January 23, 2016, at Baltimore Country Club at Five Farms, 11500 Mays Chapel Road, Lutherville, MD 21093. All friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Mary's name to Dyslexia Tutoring Program (dyslexiatutoringprogram.org). As John Irving, one of Mary's favorite authors, once wrote: "It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious." In that respect, Mary was a tireless and masterful artist.

HUSSEY MICHAEL “JAY” Age 59, of Dormont, passed away Monday, January 11, 2016, peacefully in his sleep, after a valiant battle with lung cancer. Our beloved brother was a good, intelligent, strong, sweet soul. Jay always had time to lend a helping hand day or night for family or friends. He had a knack to solve problems and fix things like new. Jay grew up in Mt. Lebanon and graduated high school 1974. For several years he worked in steel mills and power plants. Afterwards, he perfected his trade, an exceptional professional painter for both commercial and residential. He always looked forward to his yearly 2-3 week camping vacation at Saranac Lake, in the Adirondacks, NY. That vacation recharged Jay for the coming work-again year ahead. He enjoyed life, poker games with his friends and would have been happy making his home in the Adirondacks. Jay was predeceased by both of our parents, Carlyle J. and Anne M. Hussey. He is survived by four siblings, Greg Hussey, Gary (Karen) Hussey, Carla (Peter) VanBuskirk and Cathy Hussey. Also survived by his nephew, Christopher Hussey; three nieces, Rachelle (Jason) Downey, Kristen (John) Sherman and Tiffany VanBuskirk. You will be greatly missed, for that we are saddened, which is eased only slightly that you are no longer suffering. Please make donations to cancer research of your choice.
