Leslie Fonas Jingozian, 59, died Saturday August 26, 2023. Surrounded by friends and family, Leslie died in the comfort of her beloved childhood home after a three-year battle with metastatic cancer. She was sent off with love, dignity and a touch of humor, and her death was an experience we will never forget.

Born November 19, 1963, she grew up skiing at Seven Springs with her family. As an adult, she spent every possible moment living and skiing on Blue Knob Mountain, where she also ran the Ski Shop. Her style was a perfect blend of athleticism and elegance. A technical and graceful skier, she raced in the Moonlight Race League on the Little Valley Team which was always back and forth in the first place spot. In the off-season, she loved riding her Harley.

Leslie’s earliest claim to fame came in the mid-70s, as the girl on the box of Johnny Bench Batter Up. She was an avid equestrian and spent three happy weeks every summer at the Allegheny Riding Camp. She played classical guitar and cello. Leslie attended the East Allegheny school system K-11, and graduated from Wilson Christian Academy in 1982. After graduating from high school, she attended Gordon College on the North Shore of Massachusetts from 1982-1984. She met David Jingozian while working as an office manager for a finance group in Boston; they married in 1987, and had two daughters, Alex and Kari.

Chesteria Havrilla, 99, of North Versailles, born Nov. 3, 1923, died peacefully Dec. 13, 2022.

Affectionally known to extended family and friends as Ceil, our Mom was the second child of five born to Polish immigrants, Anthony and Sophie Chisco. Our Mother spent her childhood and part of her adult life living in North Braddock. A true “Rosie the Riveter,” our Mom supported the war effort as she rolled coils at Westinghouse in East Pittsburgh.

Mom was her happiest surrounded by family and floral arrangements. A longtime member of the McKeesport Garden Club, her fingers were always busy designing and arranging. She had a talent and shared her creations with family, friends, and people she barely knew but instantly liked. Mom loved playing cards, as well as ready to hit the machines at the casino in a moment’s notice. A true believer in God and His goodness, our Mother was dedicated to her church and prayed the rosary for comfort and guidance.
