WERSING GLORIA C. AFTER AN IMP...
WERSING GLORIA C. After an impressive fight with cancer, Gloria succumbed June 4, 2017, at her home in Murrysville, yet best known within her longterm residency as a Forest Hills native and community contributor. Unequivocally devoted to her faith, Saint Maurice Church, family, and her four decade employment with Rite Aid and its predecessors. Universally and inarguably perceived as a modern Saint. A friend to more than she realized, a selfless and humble natural mentor. A closeted musician with an unusual gift for vocal and instrumental grasp, replicating perfect pitch and intoxicating play-by-ear interpretations through organ, accordion, and guitar without ever reading a note. A truly matchless mother to Paul (Veronica), Michele (Keith Luznar), Lisa (Jeff Hnath), and the late Vincent Wersing; grandmother to Heather (Chad Cordial), Tina, Manny, Nickie, Joe, and Jacob; daughter of the late Lucia and Ellery Panaia; sister of Cecilia Panaia and the late Josephine, Vincent, and Ellery Panaia; aunt to many; and keen Follower of Christ and his principles. Sadly preceded in death by her husband, Paul; and her son, Vince. Her appreciation and enthusiasm for life succeeded through her darkest hours. Her presence will be missed and irreplaceable, yet through this void we rejoice in the love, recognitions, empathy, and tailored inspirations she will forever instill into us and our infinite kin to come. In lieu of flowers, kindly send contributions in memory of our precious Gloria's name to the Lions Affordable Hearing Aid Project (AHAP): Lions Club International Foundation, Department 4547, Carol Stream, IL 60122-4547.
