Janet Clare (Tracy) Loughney, 89, of Pittston, went to sleep in the Lord on Wednesday, August 03, 2016 at the Golden Living Center, Plains Twp.
Born October 29, 1926 in Pittston, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Jane Donahue Tracy.

Throughout her career, she taught in several school districts including Souderton Area High School, Souderton, PA, St. Stanislaus, Landsdale, PA, Pittston Area, Wyoming Area, and Seton Catholic.
Janet was a member of St. John the Evangelist Church and its Altar and Rosary Society, the Serra Club, and the German Club. She was very proud of her Irish-Catholic heritage. She loved to play the piano at home surrounded by her family, loved to travel with her family, enjoyed local politics including working on the Obama campaign in 2008, and in her younger years played the organ at St. John’s Parrish.
Janet’s loving husband of 44 years, John Martin “Bull” Loughney, Jr. preceded her in death, as well as her brothers Frank and Paul Tracy, and her sister Nancy Guldin.
Surviving are her daughters Mary Susan Riccetti, Dupont, Anne Dolinsky, Pittston, and Jane Christian, Chelmsford, MA; grandsons Joseph Dolinsky, Kingston, William Riccetti, Omaha, NE, John Paul Riccetti, Pittston, and Ryan Christian, Boston, MA; several nieces and nephews.
