Monica C. Werner

Monica C. Werner, 91 of Wyalusing, PA, (formerly of Queens Road, St. Marys, Pa) passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, at Guthrie Towanda Memorial Hospital Skilled Nursing Home.

She was born on February 4, 1929 in St. Marys, daughter of the late Urban and Alvina Hoffman Gregory. She attended St. Mary’s Catholic School in her youth and married the late Paul Werner at  St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1951, who preceded her in death in 2000.

She is survived by her two sons: Samuel Werner of St. Marys and Gregory Werner (June) of Wyalusing, Pa; four grandchildren: Michelle Ryden, Angela Simbeck, Nicholas Werner, and Christian Werner; and several great-grandchildren.  She is also survived by four sisters: Lillian Haller, Rose Marie Gregory, Alice Dollinger, and Irene Gregory; by three brothers: William, Gilbert, and Kenneth Gregory, all of St. Marys; and by many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband and parents, Monica was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Kathy Werner, her grandson, Brian Werner, her brother, Richard Gregory, and her sister, Patricia Gregory.

Monica worked at Sylvania until she married Paul.  She then continued her career as a lifelong seamstress in her community for many years.  She took great pride and had a true talent in her sewing creations, but also had excellent skills in knitting and crocheting many beautiful articles for her family and friends.  Monica was a longtime volunteer in the cafeteria at Queen of the World school, a service that she enjoyed and took great pride in serving the youth in her church community.  In addition, Monica enjoyed serving several years singing in the Queen of the World Church choir.
