Merle “Bucky” A. Mohney III

Merle “Bucky” A. Mohney III, 60, of Zelienople, formerly of Kittanning and Worthington, passed away Friday at his home.

He was born Dec. 4, 1958, in Kittanning, to Merle “Bud” A. and Betty E. (Jordan) Mohney.

Bucky grew up in Kittanning and later lived in Worthington for 33 years before settling in Zelienople with his mother and sister.

He attended Franklin Union Baptist Church in Worthington and loved to read his Bible.

In Zelienople, Bucky was an active member of the Passavant Men's Nights, the fitness center, and the group which Bucky named, “Y.A.P.” Young Adult Handicapped Programs.

He was full of life and always on the go. Exercising, playing indoor games, riding all-terrain vehicles and going to tractor pulls were some of his favorite activities.

When Bucky just wanted to relax, he could usually be found reading, watching sports or working on one of his many collections.

Bucky had a number of pets over the years, and each one held a special place in his heart.

His friends and family will always remember how much of a conversationalist he was and will miss his friendly and vibrant spirit.

He is survived by his loving mother, Betty of Zelienople; and his sister, Tammela “Tammy” B. Mohney of Zelienople.

Bucky was preceded in death by his father.
