Gerald T. Wagner

By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

Gerald “Jerry” T. Wagner, age 98, passed away peacefully in the home he built 65 years ago, surrounded by the family he so deeply loved. Born on April 25, 1927, in McKeesport, PA, Jerry lived a life defined by devotion—to his country, his work, and most of all, his family.
A proud veteran, Jerry honorably served in both the U.S. Army and Navy before returning to Glassport, where he began a long and skilled career as a machinist at the Irvin Works. It was also there that he met the love of his life—Evelyn, the girl who lived just across the street. Together they shared 56 wonderful years of marriage before Evelyn’s passing in 2010.
Jerry and Evelyn built a beautiful life together, raising six remarkable children: Gerald A. Wagner (Lynn), Bert P. Wagner (Kathy), Margaret J. Wagner, Kellie M. Wagner (Richard), Anthony J. Wagner, and Stacey L. Skerkoski (Eugene). Their home became the heart of the family—a place where grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered, laughed, learned, and were loved unconditionally by their “Pap” and “Pappy.”
He leaves behind 14 beloved grandchildren: Lauren, Nathan, Hanna, Emily, Jessica, Jeremy, Luke, Jesse, Jacob, Jared, Josef, Chloe, Colton, and Caden—and 6 treasured great-grandchildren: Finnegan, Sullivan, Emerson, Olivia, Ford, and Vada.
Jerry lived a full life, rich in hobbies and humor. He loved cars, hunting, fishing, playing cards, and pulling off the perfect practical joke. Above all, he cherished a house full of family. His warmth, wit, and unwavering presence were the foundation of the Wagner family, and his legacy will continue to live on in every story told, every laugh shared, and every memory made.
He was the cornerstone of our lives, and his absence leaves a profound void. The impact he had on all who knew him is immeasurable, and the love he gave will forever echo in our hearts.
A memorial mass will be held Sat., June 7, 2025, at 12:00 pm  at Queen of the Rosary Church, Glassport.  Funeral arrangements by Wojciechowski Funeral Home.  Memorial contributions may be made to either Autism Pittsburgh, 795 Pine Valley Dr., Suite 22, Pittsburgh Pa 15230 or American Diabetes Assoc., P.O. Box 7023, Merrifield VA 22116.

Frances C. Weaver

March 21, 2025 |

By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

 

Frances C. Weaver, 72, of Scott Township, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2025. Born July 12th, 1952, in Glassport, PA, Fran was the youngest daughter of the late Frank and Helen (Krivonak) Ksiazek. She is survived by her two sons Ken (Andrea) and Christian Weaver; grandsons Jack and James; sister Martina Rabickow; brother Michael (Linda) Ksiazek; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 43 years Charles E. “Chuck” Weaver; sisters Janet and Nancy Ksiazek; and brother Ken Ksiazek. Fran was kind. She was loving. She carried a welcoming disposition, inviting conversation with everyone she encountered. Her delightful sense of humor catered to all. She was strong as well. A resolute independent spirit known for taking on life’s challenges with fierce determination and unwavering Faith. A graduate of South Allegheny High School, she took pride in working multiple jobs throughout her youth and early adulthood. She reflected most fondly on her career and travels with Trans World Airlines in the 70s. She met Chuck while employed at the Hahn Furniture Company. They wed on August 9th, 1980. Fran enjoyed cooking and excelled at it. She mastered all the old-world recipes: Pierogi, Chicken Paprikash, Golabki, and many more. Everything from scratch. Everything from memory. For decades, requests for her recipes received the same coy response, “of course, I have it all right here” with a point to her head. Her baking abilities were legendary. Chocolate pudding cake, cookie sandwiches, and homemade pie were among her trademarks. She briefly operated her own catering business, Heavenly’s, specializing in homemade gift baskets. She sold countless pies out of Bednar’s Farm Market, unable to match the demand. Whenever her sons’ friends visited, she would cut into her inventory and start passing out slices. Enterprise was no match for a generous heart. Caring for others was her specialty. She raised two boys with the deftest balance of doting and discipline. Every need was met. Every mistake made into a lesson. Every accomplishment was celebrated (typically with baked goods). Rarely a day passed without a phone call to her mother, or sisters, or friends. She liked to conclude her talks with a joke or a Bible verse. Usually both. She had a passion for gift-giving. Plants and flowers sent to friends, old photos to family, a handwritten note and some stickers to her grandchildren. Simple tangible expressions of sentiment to always remind her people she cared. Above all else, she loved and supported her husband, Chuck. For so many years, their nurturing sustained each other far beyond what was believed to be possible. Faith in the Lord and dedication to her husband were two unshakable constants. She spoke of Chuck daily and genuinely looked forward to a reunion with him and their Creator in Heaven. There are no formal services planned. Fran was a devoted wife, loving mother, and grandma. She will be missed dearly and remembered always.
