MaryAnn Albright, a life-long resident of Scranton PA, was the daughter of James and Leah (Thomas) Jones and of Welsh descent. She was the wife of George Albright and together they had nine children; Leah (Fey), Philip, James (who died at age 20 in the flu epidemic of 1918), Mary (Mitchell), George, Fred, John, Elizabeth (who died at the age of three) and Helen (Withers).
Grandma Albright was a sweet quiet lady who had never learned to read or write anything but her name. One of her greatest pleasures in her later years was watching television and when the host of the show said "Good-night" she always said "Good-night" and waved back to them. She died at the age of 87 after having had a series of strokes and I was able to be with her during her final hours. She had outlived her husband and five of her children and was survived by one son (Philip), three daughters (Leah, Mary,and Helen), a sister (Ida Bogart) eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev Harry E. Brooks of West Park Methodist Church in Scranton who had been her pastor for many years. She was buried in Washburn Street Cemetery beside her husband. Several of her children had also been buried there.
