WIST ELEANOR HALLIE AGE 100, O...
WIST ELEANOR HALLIE Age 100, of Franklin Park, PA, died April 21, 2018, at home. She was born in Brownsville, PA, the daughter of the late Nathaniel and Jennie Porter. Eleanor graduated from Brownsville High School, the California State Teachers College and the University of Pittsburgh. Eleanor began substitute teaching in 1960 and taught fulltime from 1970 through 1990 in the North Allegheny School system at Ingomar and then Franklin Elementary Schools. She was a legendary kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Wist gave hundreds of kindergarteners a remarkable start to their educations. She was ahead of her time as a pioneer in understanding the need to develop a caring culture in the classroom by developing a sense of belonging for her students. David Levine, in his book, Building Classroom Communities, wrote about her and how she accomplished this culture. When her class load was small, she visited each student's family before the start of the school year. After her classes grew, she had the children come into her classroom before school started so that they could pick out their chair and feel more comfortable on the first day. During the school year, Mrs. Wist invited the students, four at a time, to come to her house for dinner and then to play games before going home. For her students who maintained perfect attendance for the year, she handmade them a teddy bear as a reward. Mrs. Wist kept all of her class lists so that when her kindergarteners graduated from high school, she could track down current addresses and send each student a graduation card with a personal note. She taught school until she was 72 years of age, and referred to it as the best job she could ever have hhad. She looked forward to returning each year to her classroom, counting the days until summer vacation ended. Her classrooms were filled with caring, learning, music, and even cherry pies (baked by the children on Washington's birthday). As is evidenced by the many cards, letters and visits she continued to receive up until her death, she was a dearly loved teacher. Eleanor was a very active woman and a figure in her community. She was well known in Franklin Park and Ingomar for her daily walks to work, to the grocery store, and to church. After just six months from retiring from teaching, she took a job as a counter clerk at Ruby's Cleaners in Ingomar where she worked until she was 82. She enjoyed being able to see former kindergarteners and their parents at that job. Eleanor was an early riser having grown up on her parents' dairy farm. When she was in her 70's and unhappy about the late time that her morning paper was arriving, she took over the paper route herself and delivered the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, walking with her paper carrier's bag, to customers who were delighted to receive their paper so early in the morning. Her friends and neighbors will remember her as a very social person who loved to entertain. She belonged to 13 bridge clubs, many of which she herself organized and hosted. Her other community roles included a Cub Scouts den mother, a member of Ingomar United Methodist Church, a Republican committee woman and Election Board member of Franklin Park, and a volunteer delivering Meals on Wheels. Many of the people she delivered meals to were much younger than she was. Eleanor was married for 52 years to the late George R. Wist. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by five of her children, Douglas, Richard, Duane (Delphine), Dennis (Cheryl), and Brenna; daughter-in-law, Betty; her grandchildren, Matthew, Michael (Kate), Tanner (Meggan) and Kenton Wist, Brandon (Grace) and Blake (Carla) Cyrus, and Allison and Audra Wist; her great- grandchildren, Kyla, Bella, Hallie and Ben Wist and Katie, MacKenzie and Adam Cyrus; she is also survived by many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a son, David; a daughter-in-law, Sandi; and her two brothers and their wives, Wayne (Mary Lou) and Emmor (Betty) Porter. Eleanor's was a life well-lived, full of kindness and generosity. She touched the lives of so many and made an unforgettable difference with her life. There will be a celebration of her life on Friday, May 4, 2018, at 11 a.m. The service will be at the Ingomar United Methodist Church on 1501 West Ingomar Rd., Pittsburgh, PA. Lunch will follow the service. There will be no visitation. Eleanor had requested that any memorial gifts be made to the Church. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

MASISAK HELEN CATHERINE (GERDI...
MASISAK HELEN CATHERINE (GERDICH) On April 27, 1929, Helen Masisak was born in the tiny mining town of Coverdale, PA, and she passed away on Saturday, April 21, 2018. In between, she never lived more than four blocks away from the tar paper and shingle shack in which she was born, yet she did so much, touched so many, and had about as much life, love, and laughter as anyone could hope for. Her family survived the Great Depression, parents and seven kids all living together in that tiny home, supplementing the small pay her father earned working 14 hours a day in mine shafts, where he couldn't even stand upright, by working a tiny field of crops and raising a cow and some chickens where now stands the Bethel Park High School Stadium. Helen was an excellent student, and was so good in penmanship class that, 35 years later, her teacher told her youngest son that it was incredible how bad your penmanship is, since your mother had the best handwriting of any student in my 50 years of teaching! From the time she was a small child, Helen dreamed of becoming a teacher, marrying a man named Bob, having two children named Bobby and Becky, and having her kids and grandchildren visit her every Sunday. She was almost entirely successful at achieving those life goals, becoming a beloved teacher's aide at Lincoln School for over 30 years, marrying a man named Bob, and having two children she called Bobby & Becky
and a Billy, for good measure and each of them got even with her by changing to different names as adults! Helen was a devoted mother: there was never a birthday or holiday that wasn't a major event. Parties for the kidscomplete with homemade games like pick up the cotton balls with chopsticks or drop clothespins in the milk bottlenew outfits and filled Easter baskets, elaborate homemade costumes for Halloween, 30 homemade items on the menu for Thanksgiving (including endless early morning hours with a hand-grinder and wood roller, making her version of her mother's world-famous nut roll), a fully-decked Christmas tree with piles of presentsall of this despite living on next to nothing. Speaking of costumes, Helen and her good friend Eleanor 'Boots' Mercer were local legends who spent decades dreaming up incredible, 1st place worthy costumes. Her kids were decked in homemade Mr. Peanut, a cow, or George Washington outfits, and Helen, herself, would boldly wear an Uncle Sam or a Statue Of Liberty costume, even when it wasn't an official costume event! Helen and her sister Mayo shared an incredible love of movies and character actors, culled from their Depression years going to double features in the 1930s at the 10-cent Colonial Theater on South Park Road. Then, in the 60s and 70s, the Pittsburgh Press used to have a contest where they printed 100 tiny photos and entries had to fill in as many names of character actors as possible. In the age long before the internet, the two sisters would pore over the photos for a week with a magnifying glass and try to decide (argue vociferously about) who was whom. They won twiceonce getting all 100 correctand eventually were banned from competing any more, to their great chagrin. She was IMDB before there was such a thing. They say when a great person dies, a library burns to the ground
and this couldn't be more true in this case. Over the many decades as part of the local community, Helen became a local historian, responsible for collecting the names of the original Coverdale Mine Memorial families and erecting the monument honoring them; she was the kind of person who knew the history of local families, businesses, school, politics, and landmarks better than even the principals, themselves. She collected photographs and memorabilia from decades of local events and could name all the faces and places, even from 70 years earlier. She read or had read to her in her later blindness over 60 years' worth of local obituaries, which she enjoyed fanatically until the very end (putting a lot of pressure on getting this particular obit right!). Helen's great superpower, though, was singing. She loved all kinds of music, from Tin Pan Alley hits to commercial jingles to children's songs, and would sing all day, whenever she could. Although she had a beautiful singing voice, she was most renowned for her devotion to singing harmony with anyone and anywhereshe had a beautiful voice but never wanted to sing the melody. If you were at the ballgame and you heard harmony to the Star-Spangled Banner and Take Me Out To The Ballgame, it was probably Helen. That is devotion! Helen was passionate about a lot of things, but one of the highest on the list was her love of Croatian heritage and its Tamburitza music. She and her kids spent decades going to Croatian music dances and festivals. Helen was also a devoted listener to Mike Hegol's Sunday afternoon radio show, listening to it every Sunday for 20 years. She became a fixture at the Yukon Croatian Club, the Schuetzen Park picnics, and the Croatian Fraternal Union events. There isn't a local Tamburitza musician who didn't know and love the woman who sang all the songs, loved to kolo dance, and was a huge part of their shows. Helen loved swimming at the old Corrigan Drive and Stone Manse pools, softball with the kids, and especially volleyball. Along with various recreation meetups, she was a charter member of the Bethel Park Volleyball Girls Club, who played and won many tournaments together, and became lifelong friends. When the game was on the line, even into her 60s, Helen would make a very determined face and use her considerable upper body strength to hit the winning shot. She loved wordplay and 'Dad' jokes. She also did crossword puzzles every day, even when she became blind and had to essentially do them in her head. Into her 80s! She was a former Judge of Elections Judge for the Allegheny County Board of Elections, a member of the Bob Locklin Singers and the Bethel Presbyterian Church Choir, and was a volunteer at the Gold Card Club where she earned lifetime membership. Daughter of the late Teresa Hasan Gerdich and the late Ante Gerdich; sister of six who preceded her in death: The late Barbara Bernardini (Jim), Steve Radnick, George Radnick, Ann Senovich (Nick), Mary 'Mayo' Radnick, and Anthony Gerdich (Eleanor). Survived by three loving and loved children: Robert 'Zack' (Maria), Rebecca (Leszek), and Wil (Emily); one grandchild, Shirl Ann (Masisak) Cummings; sister-in-law, Hazel Hartman (Masisak); and many wonderful nieces and nephews. In the end, she had a long and amazing journey, and no regrets. She was brave, peaceful and surrounded by her loved ones and caring souls. She leaves behind an incredible void in all her communities, with many friends, and most definitely for her loving family that will be impossible to fill. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUER - CONNELL.
