Jean E. Cosbey

Jean McHugh Cosbey, 73 of Port Carbon, died Tuesday at Edenbrook of Greenwood Hill Nursing Home.

She was born February 21, 1953 in Pottsville, a daughter of the late John and Margaret Quin McHugh. 

She was a 1971 graduate of Pottsville Area High School.

Jean was employed by Mrs. Smith's Pies, Pottstown for many years, before moving to Georgia and retiring from McCormick Tractor.

Jean will be remembered with affection and respect by those who knew her. She loved spending time at Club 18, a place that brought her enjoyment and familiarity over the years. She was also known for her fondness for the color green, a small but meaningful reflection of her personality. Jean was proud of her Irish heritage, and that pride remained an enduring part of who she was.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ken Cosbey.  

Surviving are her siblings, Lenny McHugh, Pottsville; John McHugh, Carlisle; Michael McHugh, Hazelton; Lane McHugh, Julian; Lori Spotts, Seltzer.

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, October 18th starting at 1PM at The Pottsville Zone, 337 Peacock St., Pottsville. 

The family would prefer remembrances in the form of contributions to the Hillside SPCA, PO Box 233, Pottsville PA 17901

Arrangements are under the care of James E. Humphrey Funeral Home, James B. Humphrey, F.D., Pottsville.
