~~Mildred DeFloria Muchoney Born Dec 7, 1929 and deceased April 1, 2017
Mildred [Millie] Muchoney grew up in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and was one of 9 children born to Angelo and Nancy DeFloria, immigrants from Italy. She married William Muchoney in 1949 and together they moved to Alexandria, Virginia where Millie had four children: Tracy, Billy, Douglas and Kelly, five grandchildren: Daniel, Matthew, Keenan Nadya and Serena, and two great grand-children Luke and Micah, Matt and Lauren Dussia’s son. She loved them all unconditionally.
Millie worked at the Department of State, first as a member of the typing pool and rose rapidly to begin her distinguished career in Diplomatic Telecommunications and further as a dedicated Foreign Service officer. Her overseas assignments included Accra, Ghana and Nairobi, Kenya, where she was stationed at the American Embassies there.
Our Mom was devoted to her husband of 68 years, Bill Muchoney Sr., and enjoyed the love and respect of her family. Her love of travel, respect for world cultures and exploration of her Italian heritage took her to many foreign destinations where she was always well received and returned with an appreciation of peoples from all walks of life.
As a long time parishioner of St. Rita’s Catholic Church, Millie was instrumental in founding the St. Vincent DePaul Society here and worked tirelessly at The Carpenters Shelter along with her husband, Bill.
