"Margaret &quot;Peggy&quot; S. (Davitt) Bucceri, age 95, passed away Thursday, May 28, 2015 at St. Mary&#39;s Asbury Ridge. Born in Titusville, PA, May 16, 1920, daughter of Patrick and Margaret (O&#39;Neill) Davitt.Preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, John Bucceri, and her infant daughter, Marion Jean. Also, preceded by her brothers, the Rev. Charles Davitt, and Robert Davitt, and sisters Marion Burke and Jane Davis.She graduated from St Vincent&#39;s School of Nursing and worked at Saint Vincent&#39;s hospital in Labor and Delivery, retiring in 1985.On the dance floor of Rainbow Gardens, Johnny Bucceri proposed to Peggy. Once married, they honeymooned in Cleveland, OH. They won big at Thistledown Horse track by betting $7 on a long shot horse named &quot;American Bride&quot;.They had their first child and then Johnny went off to WWII in the U.S. Navy. When he returned home they immediately began having more babies, lots of babies.She raised her brood at the family homestead on E 34th St and was a founding member of St. Luke Parish. She was the neighborhood nurse. When a kid would get hit by a car, Peggy was the first one on the scene to give medical aid.Life was hectic with 6 kids. We are sure she wore out a dozen rosaries praying when her two oldest sons were both serving in Vietnam. She often said that she wished she had joined the convent. After she retired from St. Vincent&#39;s she would go to mass every day and twice on Saturday. She was a Eucharistic Minister, aka &quot;The God Squad&quot;. She refused to pray for frivolous things, such as a Cleveland Browns victory. Her hobbies were cleaning, worrying, and auto body repair.Her wisdom was timeless; &quot;Be the best&quot;, &quot;Say your prayers&quot;, &quot;Drive Carefully&quot; and &quot;Mommy loves you&quot;She is survived by two daughters, Jane Bucceri and Sally French, husband Michael, all of Gaithersburg, MD; four sons, Jack Bucceri, wife Mary Jo, of Egg Harbor Twp, NJ, Patrick Bucceri, wife Diane, of Erie, Thomas Bucceri, of Anchorage, AK and William Bucceri, wife Ann-Marie, of Erie; and a bunch of grand and great grandkids.Friends are invited to call at Brugger Funeral Home, 1595 W. 38th St. at Greengarden Blvd., Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. and to attend prayers there Monday at 10:15 a.m., followed by a Funeral Mass at St. Luke Church at 11 a.m. Burial will be at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.In lieu of flowers memorials are suggested to the St. Luke Endowment Fund or Emmaus Ministries."
