Eleanor Ann "Annie" (Bossard) Proper Moore

Eleanor Ann "Annie" (Bossard) Proper Moore, 92, of Meadville, passed away peacefully Tuesday, January 24, 2023, at Meadville Medical Center.

Annie was born in Cleveland, OH, on April 23, 1930, a daughter of the late Paul and Gertrude (O'Rourke) Bossard.

In August, 1950 she married Raymond Proper; he preceded her in death in 1979. Subsequently, she married John R. Moore who also preceded her in death in 2001.

She was salutatorian of Townville High School's 1948 graduating class. After 20 years of service, Annie retired as a Ward Secretary at Meadville Medical Center. Upon her retirement in 1991 she called Sebring, FL, her home for the next 25 years. There, she became employed at a flower shop where she would display her creativity, working until the age of 85. She was also involved in a craft co-op in Lake Placid, FL. No matter what Annie set out to do, her work ethic was strong. Her hobbies and interests included playing cards, reading, shopping and movie outings with her friends. Upon moving back to Meadville, she made Juniper Village her home for the past five years. She enjoyed staying busy crafting, doing word puzzles, playing Fast Track, and she appreciated weekly Communion while staying true to her Catholic faith. She will be remembered as a friendly, caring and loving mother to her five children and cherished (as she would say) "bringing up the family". Annie loved all her family deeply and especially being "Gramma Annie" to her grandchildren and great granddaughter. She was very proud of the accomplishments of her grandchildren and she loved watching them grow. She will be sadly missed.

Annie is survived by four children Larry Proper (Chris), Kevin Proper both of Erie, Kathryn Taormina (Joe) of Meadville, Kimberly Sokol (Michael) of Canonsburg; four grandchildren Kristen Cihon (Steve) of Pittsburgh, Kaitlyn Baskin (Michael) of Flowery Branch, GA, Matthew Taormina ( Mariah) of Pittsburgh, Dylan Sokol of Canonsburg; a great granddaughter Brinley Baskin; a brother Jack Bossard (Marilyn) of Estill Springs, TN; many nieces and nephews.

Additionally, Annie was preceded in death by a son David Proper; two brothers Donald "Yondy" Bossard and Paul Bossard.

Annie will be laid to rest next to her husband, Raymond, in Kingsley Cemetery, Townville.
