Georgeann Magnes
OCEAN CITY — Georgeann Magnes, age 80, of Ocean City, passed away on Friday, April 14, 2023, at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin surrounded by her four daughters after a long battle with lung disease.
Georgeann Magnes
Georgeann was born Aug. 16, 1942 in Munhall, Pa. and was the daughter of the late Nicholas Kolesar and Marian Scherbik. She is also preceded in death by her late brother Nicholas Dean Kolesar and sister Marian Dunn.
Georgeann moved to Maryland in 1963 with her late husband, John Daniel Magnes where they started their family and their journey toward almost 60 years of marriage. When her husband, Dan, became involved as a coach in their girls’ softball leagues, Georgeann quickly jumped in giving rides to practices and games and became the best scorekeeper in any league. Originally from Pittsburgh, she remained an avid Pittsburgh Steeler fan but, when it came to baseball, the Baltimore Orioles stole her heart! On any given night she could be seen watching the game while ironing in the kitchen hooting and hollering “Go O’s” or “That’s my Birds!”
Georgeann always believed in giving back and helping others in need. She was involved in the soup kitchen through her church parish, gave supplies to the homeless and even saved old blankets to give to the local SCPA. In addition to the charitable donations, she would go out of her way on holidays and special occasions to make up little goodie bags to give out to her social groups, such as the ladies’ lunch bunch, Elk’s Women’s Axillary Group, and No-Hatters. One of her favorite social events was the shuffle bowl at the Elk’s.
Georgeann was a faithful person and, being raised Catholic, she became a member of St. Luke’s Catholic Church once they moved to Ocean City. She wore a tiny angel on her shirt to always carry her faith with her.
Georgeann is survived by children, Paula (Steve) Peddicord, Denise Flynn, Jacqui (Bruce Howard) Magnes and Danielle (Troy) Scogland; grandchildren: Bryan, Sean, Erin, Derek, Joey, Cydney, Riley, Drake, and Sawyer; six great grandchildren; as well as beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
Family and friends are welcome to attend a one-hour visitation on April 21, 2023, at 1 p.m. held at St Luke’s Catholic Church at 100th Street and Coastal Highway followed by a Catholic Funeral Mass at 2 p.m. Inurnment will be private for the family.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to:
