Mary Susan Taglieri, 80, of Canonsburg, formerly of New Brighton, passed away on October 29, 2026, at UPMC Washington.

She was born in Beaver Falls on March 21st, 1946, the daughter of the late Telesfor and Wanda (Mujwit) Narkiewicz.

Mary was a lifelong member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and Holy Family Church in New Brighton. She found comfort and strength in her Catholic faith. She was also a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CD of A), where she shared in fellowship and service with others. She was a proud graduate of Geneva College, earning her degree in Psychology in 1968. She went on to dedicate her career to helping others as a social worker at the former Friendship Ridge, where her compassion and caring nature made a difference in the lives of those she served.

In her free time, she enjoyed getting lost in a good book and making trips to the casino. She especially loved visiting the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, a place that held a special place in her heart. Above all else, Mary’s greatest joy was her family. She treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable happiness and pride. The love she had for them was at the center of her life, and the memories they shared will be cherished always.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon C. Taglieri.
