Raised in Tribute:
$222.10MaryAnn Mycek Bucci was born in Port Chester, NY. She was raised along with her two brothers, Walter and Joe, by her loving parents Walter and Anna Mycek. She married Philip Bucci in 1961 in Port Chester, NY. MaryAnn and Phil had two children, Gregg and Sheri. MaryAnn worked for many years as an executive secretary at Raichle-Molitor USA, a ski equipment company located in Brewster, NY. Eventually, her love of the warm weather, the beach and the ocean drew her and Phil to settle in Punta Gorda, FL for retirement. MaryAnn and Phil spent many days together playing golf, going to the beach and socializing in their community. Throughout her life, MaryAnn was a vibrant, outgoing, beautiful woman, who possessed flair, style and grace. She was a loving wife, proud mother and grandmother. MaryAnn also had a passion for cooking and created gourmet meals that always surpassed everyone's expectations. And perhaps her greatest passion was shopping; she spent countless hours searching for clothes and jewelry that always matched perfectly. In her later years, MaryAnn battled Parkinson's disease, but she never allowed it to hinder her joy for life. She will be missed by everyone whose life she touched.
