Aubrey Lynn Mooney (DiBella), 44, lifelong resident of Mt. Lebanon, passed away on May 2, 2024. Aubrey was born on February 23, 1980, to Terri Lynn and Richard William DiBella. She grew up in a loving home in Mt. Lebanon, with her siblings, Juliet Marie, Richard Hamilton, and Amy Elizabeth. Aubrey attended Duquesne University, where she was on the soccer team, studied early childhood education, and discovered her love of travel. She is survived by Michael Xavier Mooney, her husband of over eighteen years. Together, they grew a full family, including her pride and joy, her children, Kathleen Ann, Liam Xavier, and Mary Alice, as well as hamsters and their chocolate labs, Walter and Earl. Aubrey is also survived by her loving in-laws, Anne and Paul Mooney and Kevin (Kristen), Tom (Erin) and Rosey (Chris) Kipp. Also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
