With profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Anne Edwards McAllister with family by her side on July 27, 2025. Her loving husband of 40 years, Gerald E. McAllister, went to be with God in 2003. Anne left behind a rich legacy of love, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family. She had resided at Oak Hill Senior Apartments, Taylor, PA for the past 5 years where she enjoyed the company of the residents and the weekly activities, especially Thursday BINGO nights. Prior to that, she lived in Greenwood for over 50 years, where she raised her children and continued to be an active member with the Greenwood After 50 Ladies Club. Born June 17, 1937 in Scranton, Anne was the daughter of the late Ralph W. Edwards and the late Anne Tamosaitis Edwards. Raised in West Scranton, she was a 1955 graduate of Scranton Central High School. She began her professional career for 9 years at Bell Telephone, Scranton, but after being swept off her feet by Gerald, she became a homemaker and raised three children. She returned to work as a bank teller at PNC Bank where she was known for her diligence, integrity, and warmth. Her professionalism and approachable nature left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike for the 20 years she worked there. Anne and Gerald loved to travel and treasured trips to Ocean City, MD, California, Florida and the Jersey Shore, embracing the family camaraderie and laughter these getaways offered. She was also a devoted Church goer and fan of the many restaurants in Old Forge, PA, delighting in good food and good company. She is survived by her three beloved children and their spouses: Anne-Claire McAllister Peace (John) of New York City, Gerald Edward McAllister Jr. (Mary) of Montgomery, Texas, and Matthew Sean McAllister (Carol) of Odessa, Florida. She also leaves behind her cherished siblings and spouses, John and Ellen Edwards of St. James, NY and Maurita and James Fawls of West Linn, OR, along with nine adored grandchildren in addition to nieces and nephews who brought immense joy and pride into her life. Anne was preceded in death by her brother Ralph Edwards, Jr. and his wife Agnes Biscan Edwards, Georgetown, SC and brother Eugene Edwards, Scranton. Anne McAllister was a blessing to all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her memory will forever be treasured, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she loved. The funeral mass will be Monday, August 4th at 10AM at Devine Mercy Church, 312 Davis Street, Scranton. Interment, Cathedral Cemetery. Friends may call Sunday, August 3rd, 2pm to 4pm at the Eagen-Hughes Funeral Home at 2908 Birney Ave, Scranton, PA.
