ZUCK MARY MARGARET (LIGDAY) AG...
ZUCK MARY MARGARET (LIGDAY) Age 83, of Lower Burrell, wife for 56 years of Walter Nelson Zuck, M.D., passed on Monday, Nov. 27, 2017. Mary M. was born Nov. 26, 1934, in Pittsburgh and was a near lifelong resident. Mary M. was a 1953 graduate of St. Benedict Academy. After marrying her husband, Mary M. raised her three children in Texas, Alabama and Lower Burrell. She enjoyed the life of a United States Air Force officer's wife, even when that involved seven moves in eight years. In Lower Burrell, Mary was an active member of the Citizens General Hospital Women's Medical Auxiliary, the Peoples Library Luncheon fundraiser, the AFS exchange program at Burrell High School, and she was behind the scenes active at St. Margaret Mary Church. Mary M. was also a 40-year member of the M.I. Hummel Club and enjoyed collecting the figurines and traveling with the club. Mary Margaret was preceded in death by her father, Francis Joseph Ligday, and mother, Elizabeth Catherine (Broderick) Ligday; brother, William Francis Ligday; sister, Bertha Jane (Ligday) Lamanna; and a son, Zichary Zachary Zuck. She is survived by a daughter, Janet Rose (Zippy) Zuck (New Kensington); and her daughters, Hannah and Emily Feroce; sons, Walter Michael Zuck (Taipei, Taiwan), wife, Bai Nai-Yu Zuck and their son, Zachary Michael, and Thomas Edward Zuck (Lower Burrell).

In 1989 Mary M. began her 28-year battle to defeat cancer, with the help of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Eye & Ear Institute. Six times cancer called and six times Mary displayed grace, courage and a dogged spirit to win; which she did. Mary M. was a lifelong Duquesne Basketball fan and attendee at home games for most of her life. For decades she also attended Steelers, Pitt Football and Pitt Basketball games and was a fixture each year at the Big East Basketball Tournament. Mary M. was a voracious reader and enjoyed music, whether it was the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops or attending Grateful Dead concerts with the kids. Mary M. was an avid gardener and each year her gardens reflected her eclectic style with a wide range, and blooming schedule, of plants. Mary M. and her husband loved traveling. She climbed the Great Wall of China and the German Alps; she kissed the Blarney Stone and traveled to a multitude of places in between. In summation Mary Margaret's life can be encapsulated with a quote from Lieutenant-Colonel William Travis at the Siege of the Alamo, "I shall never surrender nor retreat". A service will be held at noon, Dec. 8, 2017, at St. Margaret Mary followed by a wake at the family home in Lower Burrell.
