Marlene Joyce "MJ" Shufran Stabile, 73, of North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully, on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, at home from end-stage COPD and emphysema with her daughter, Dorey, and her Hospice Team of Treasure Bertani and Karen Onder, by her side, holding her hands. She was born April 4, 1950, in Gary, Indiana, a daughter of the late Stephen and Wilda G. (McGonigal) Shufran. Marlene was told as a teenager that she wouldn't live past the age of 25, so she lived her life being thankful for every new day she was graced with. She was blessed with a husband who was her true love, and with two children she was told she would never be able to have, who she dedicated her life to after becoming a widow at 34. Marlene proudly earned degrees from Penn State University and the University of Pittsburgh, she was a Financial Officer for WQED, Adtranz, and Direct Advantage Marketing, and after early retirement, she was a comforting caregiver to her mother, friends, and others who were entrusted with her care, which was the most rewarding job besides being a loving mother to her two children. Marlene always read her daily devotions, was an avid reader in general, and found enjoyable peace tending to her flowers and yard until she no longer could do so. She lived her life to the very best she could and by the Golden Rule to treat others the way you want to be treated. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Rosario Stabile, and son, R. Vincent Stabile. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Dorey Stabile, her very special, Simon Alexander; her so-loved granddaughter, Ava Stabile, and her brother Timothy Shufran. There will be no visitation. Family and friends will gather for a Celebration of Life on Thursday, June 8, 2023, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Moments Event Hall, 231 Jennie Drive, North Huntingdon, PA 15642.

Geneva-on-the-Lake was Jeanine’s home as a young adult and lifelong friends were made there. This led to the lake and a cottage at Allen Court becoming her home away from home since 2012. Her aunts, uncles and cousins looked forward to vacations there and spending time with her at the cottage. She relished the role of “house mother” and everyone was welcome for coffee and cocktails, and talks on the porch. Family memories and stories were plentiful and laughter could always be heard long into the evening.
Born March 19, 1952, in Geneva, Ohio, she was the beloved daughter of the late Jean and Joan Townsend Steimer. She is survived by her sister and best friend, Janet (Fran) Spang of White Oak; brothers, Jim (Martha) Steimer of Bethel Park, and John (the late Rachele) Steimer of Saybrook, Ohio; nieces, Jessica (Brian) Sweeney, Sarah Steimer, Hannah Steimer, Paige Spang and Maura Spang; great nephews, Patrick and Matthew Sweeney; cousins; many friends and a very tight knit circle of girlfriends.
