John W. Mooney

He was born January 25, 1928 in Whiteley Township, Greene County, a son of the late William Stanford and Ida Rose Mooney.

John spent most of his life in Greene County. He was employed as a mechanic for PennDot and later was a heavy equipment operator for Equitable Gas Company, retiring in 1990.

At one time he owned and operated the Mooney General Store & Gas Station in Kirby from the mid 1950’s to the mid 1960’s.

John was a life member of the Loyal Order of the Moose, Lodge #461, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #4793 and American Legion, Post #330, all of Waynesburg.

He was very proud to have served in the United States Navy as a Seabee during WW II and the Korean War.

Surviving are two daughters, Julia (Gary) Moore of Irwin and Jacqueline Barnes of Waynesburg; three grandchildren, Jeffrey Barnes, Rebekah Masone and Dana Mastroianni; five great-grandchildren, Jess Barnes, Violet and Aaron Masone, and Juliet and Levi Mastroianni; and several nieces and nephews.

John was the last sibling of his immediate family, being preceded in death by three sisters, Alene Luzadder, Helen Husk and Mary Ann Filer; five brothers, James, Robert, Kenneth, Charles and William Mooney; also a daughter, Jennifer Rose Mooney.

The family would like to thank the staff of Evergreen Assisted Living for his care the last few months.
