Her accomplishments and memberships are too numerous too list. She lived her life to the fullest - an avid sports fisherman, a dancing fool, and she loved to laugh - but more than anything, she loved her daughter Emma. Teresa leaves behind a grieving and heartbroken family: her husband, Michael A. Merritt, and daughter Emma Kathryn Merritt of Manteo; stepsons, Chris Merritt of Colington, NC and Ryan Merritt and wife Doreen of Manasquan, N.J.; her mother, Margaret Blevins of Pittsburgh; her mother-in-law, Mary Kathryn Merritt of Elizabeth City, NC; her sister, Durinda Blevins of Manteo; brother, Steven Blevins and wife Jodye, and sister Nancy Blevins of Pittsburgh; sister-in-law, Pam Merritt Nance and husband Bill of Nags Head, NC; brother-in-law, John Merritt and wife Amy of Camden, NC; nephews, Daniel Blevins, great nephew Hayden Blevins and Matthew Blevins; and niece, Amy Kulak, great niece Isabelle Kulak. Teresa also leaves behind so many dear and wonderful friends, all of whom loved her so much and have rallied behind the family.

In that spirit, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Outer Banks Cancer Support Group, c/o Lisa Penosky P.O. Box 3384, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948 or blood donations may be made in her honor.

Obituary: Mary Kay Eichinger / Police officer with nose for financial crimes July 28, 1956 - Nov. 29, 2012


December 4, 2012 12:15 am


 




inhareBy Joe Smydo / Pittsburgh Post-GazetteMary Kay Eichinger worked as an emergency medical technician and considered a career in medicine, but she found her niche -- and an outlet for her special skills -- when she shifted to law enforcement



Ms. Eichinger, 56, of Mt. Lebanon, who as the municipality's first female police officer and had a nose for financial crimes, died Thursday after a battle with cancer.

Ms. Eichinger's interest in financial cases could have stemmed from her father, a certified public account and graduate of the Wharton School."She was very, very good at solving problems," her sister, Barbara Eichinger of Mt. Lebanon, said.

Ms. Eichinger was born July 28, 1956, in Harrisburg, a daughter of Donald J. and Kay Romansky Eichinger.

Her family moved to Mt. Lebanon when she was 9. She graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in 1974 and took classes at Community College of Allegheny County and University of Pittsburgh.

She was working at Medical Rescue Team South and considering a medical degree when she took the police exam, her sister said. Hired in August 1981, she was the department's first female officer, Lt. Aaron Lauth said.

"She was a tough person, one you knew you really couldn't mess around with," Lt. Lauth said. At the same time, she was known for her compassion, especially for unwanted animals, he said.

Ms. Eichinger worked as a patrol officer for 10 years, then shifted to the investigative services unit. There, she liked to investigate financial crimes, which brought unique challenges.

Financial crimes "really don't have borders," Lt. Lauth said.

In 2002, Ms. Eichinger received the officer-of-the-year award from the Pittsburgh chapter of the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators for arresting 24 people, most of them from Detroit and Pittsburgh, on fraud charges. Lt. Lauth said Ms. Eichinger was a runner-up for the national award that year.

In 1994, one of Ms. Eichinger's cases involved a North Braddock woman who was using her 10- and 12-year-old daughters to commit fundraising fraud and other crimes door-to-door in various municipalities, including Mt. Lebanon.

"This is the perfect scam," Ms. Eichinger said at the time, describing the girls as "the cutest little things. They are adorable."

A 1999 case involved a school crossing guard who was struck by a hit-and-run driver. The crossing guard recalled the last four digits of the red car's license plate. According to a news report, Ms. Eichinger identified the driver after scouring 18 months of police reports involving red cars.

"She was tenacious," District Judge Blaise Larotonda, who retired from the police department with Ms. Eichinger in 2003, said. "She remembered everything. It amazed me. She had a memory on her and ways to connect things and solve things that were just unbelievable."

Ms. Eichinger, who also worked on the District Attorney's Narcotics Enforcement Team, retired with the rank of senior police officer. She later worked as a fraud investigator for Dollar and Citizens banks.

Services will be held in the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery mausoleum chapel at 10:30 a.m. today. Memorials to Animal Friends or the St. Vincent DePaul Society at St. Anne Church in Castle Shannon.

Rose’s love for the Lord led her to a lifetime of studying Scripture.  The more she learned, the more she taught.  Her desire was that all should know the rich depths of Scripture and God’s unconditional love for each of us.

Rose co-authored the book, “The ART of Forgiveness and Repentance” in which she teaches others how to be set free from bitterness caused by unforgiveness.  Her passion for one-on-one prayer counseling is where she saw lives changed as these principles were taught and God’s truth was revealed.

Timothy Halen 66, of Charleston, passed away surrounded by family on Monday, November 28th, 2022. Tim was born June 29th, 1956 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Richard and Joan Halen.

Tim passed away the day before his 36th wedding anniversary to the love of his life, Mary Margaret. They have two daughters, Maggie and Emily. He was a devoted husband, doting father, and philomath. He instilled a passion for learning in his daughters; he delighted in reading to them every evening when they were children and taking them to Lowe's for crafting class on Saturday mornings. He was endlessly proud of their accomplishments.

Tim always had a joke to share in his wallet-he loved making people laugh. He was not afraid to talk about or wear his opinions on his clothes: shirts, buttons, head scarves, masks. He was a lifelong Steelers fan and lovingly referred to them as the "Squealers" during off years. His famous from scratch lasagna made any occasion special. For years, he fried turkeys on Thanksgiving for friends and family members.

Tim is preceded in death by his father, Richard Montgomery Halen of Pittsburgh, PA and his mother-in-law, Virginia Ann Hager of Charleston. Tim is survived by his wife, Mary Margaret Halen of Charleston, daughter Maggie (Patrick) Wheeler of Charleston, daughter Emily Halen of Charleston, mother Joan Stabile Halen of New Bern, NC, siblings Miriam (Mike) Beckman of New Bern, NC, Richard (Kim) Halen of Budd Lake, NJ, Anne (Steve) Kouri of New Braunfels, TX, Gregory (Jennifer) Halen of Florence, AL, Joanie Halen of Kennesaw, GA, uncle David (Charlotte) Stabile of Pittsburgh, PA, many nieces and nephews, and cats P.J. and Cleo.

MICHAEL "JAY"
Age 59, of Dormont, passed away Monday, January 11, 2016, peacefully in his sleep, after a valiant battle with lung cancer. Our beloved brother was a good, intelligent, strong, sweet soul. Jay always had time to lend a helping hand day or night for family or friends. He had a knack to solve problems and fix things like new. Jay grew up in Mt. Lebanon and graduated high school 1974. For several years he worked in steel mills and power plants. Afterwards, he perfected his trade, an exceptional professional painter for both commercial and residential. He always looked forward to his yearly 2-3 week camping vacation at Saranac Lake, in the Adirondacks, NY. That vacation recharged Jay for the coming work-again year ahead. He enjoyed life, poker games with his friends and would have been happy making his home in the Adirondacks. Jay was predeceased by both of our parents, Carlyle J. and Anne M. Hussey. He is survived by four siblings, Greg Hussey, Gary (Karen) Hussey, Carla (Peter) VanBuskirk and Cathy Hussey. Also survived by his nephew, Christopher Hussey; three nieces, Rachelle (Jason) Downey, Kristen (John) Sherman and Tiffany VanBuskirk.

Marcelo Marques’s Obituary--Using Google Translate
REF: https://ufmg.br/comunicacao/noticias/morre-professor-marcelo-pimenta-marques-da-filosofia
06-5-1956 to 08-3-2016
Professor Marcelo Pimenta Marques passed away from malignant melanoma August 3, 2016 at the age of 60.
Marcelo Marques, the AFS student from Brazil during our senior year, was a full professor at the Department of Philosophy and the Postgraduate Program in Philosophy at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He left an academic legacy in which he developed teaching, research and administration programs, having trained generations of masters and doctoral students, since 1992, when he joined the University as a professor.
Marcelo’s impressive CV notes that he earned his high school diploma from Mt. Lebanon High School. Afterward, he went on to earn a bachelor's and master's degree in Philosophy from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), his home state in Brazil. Later, he earned a doctorate in Greek Philosophy from Université Marc Bloch de Strasbourg (France)—and his thesis actually won an award for the university thesis written in the best French. Following a post-doctoral year at the University of Pennsylvania, Marcelo returned to Brazil and became a full professor at his alma mater, UFMG, in Belo Horizonte.
Marcelo was an expert on the writings of Plato and Sophocles. He taught, wrote, interpreted, and translated the works of Plato and Sophocles from the original Ancient Greek into Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish, and French. He was the author and co-author of over 20 research articles and several books on the ancient Greek philosophers, the study of ethics, and global peace. He also translated two important textbooks on Plato from English into Portuguese.
Many tributes were published by his colleagues around the world: as an expert in Ancient Greek language and Plato, he was an invited lecturer to academic conferences in Europe, Mexico, the US, India, and South America.
“We will remember him as a teacher who was passionate about his job, as an advisor who gave each student particular attention, promoting them on every occasion, as an administrator who went to great lengths to make each project feasible and solve every problem”, says a note released by the Filosofia Antiga UFMG Group. “Through his numerous articles, translations and books, we are sure that his legacy will continue to inspire us on our journeys along the paths of Philosophy”, adds the text.
Throughout the decades, Marcelo stayed in touch and visited with his American host family. Marcelo is survived by his daughter, Elisa, a grandson, seven siblings, and the family of Alexandra (Swiecicki) Fairfield, his AFS host sister.

Obituary:
George Munkachy, age 67, of Prattville, Alabama, and formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, passed away on January 29th, 2024 at 7:30pm surrounded by his family. George was born on March 25th, 1956, to parents Louis and Emily Munkachy in Budapest, Hungary, and arrived in the United States as a refugee with his parents as an infant. George earned his Bachelor’s degree at Duquesne University, his Master’s at Mansfield State University, and his PhD from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Professionally, George was a psychologist in the US Air Force for 20 years where he achieved the rank of Lt. Colonel and touched many lives as a counselor and educator. After leaving the military, he served with the VA for eleven years before retiring in 2020 to pursue his passions. George loved to travel with his wife Paula, and together they went on many trips and adventures far and wide. He was an avid bicycling enthusiast, logging thousands of miles across many states and countries throughout his life. George was a devout and studious Catholic, and supported the parishes at St. Joseph in Prattville and Holy Family in Montgomery as a Catechist and active member for many years. He stayed fiercely loyal to his hometown of Pittsburgh, and followed Penguins’ hockey and Steelers’ football seasons with enthusiasm. He was a hobby pianist, master barbeque pit master, family archivist, dabbled with the didgeridoo, and enjoyed singing karaoke with his family.

Above all else, George was a loving husband, father, son, and brother. In 1978 he met the love of his life, Paula Munkachy, and the very next year they were married in Ayer, Massachusetts. George and Paula had four children together: Alexander, Nicholas, Stephanie, and Rebecca Munkachy, and was “Poppy” to two grandchildren, Conor and Norah Munkachy-- all of whom were the joy of his heart. He was a gentle and playful father and grandfather, a caring and devoted husband, a steadfast friend, and a kind soul. He is predeceased by his mother Emily Munkachy, and survived by his father Louis, his wife Paula, his sister Zsuzsi, his four children, and his two grandchildren. His laughter, silliness, and kind-hearted nature will be deeply and profoundly missed by his friends and family.

We love you so much, George, and will miss you so dearly.

A visitation and reception for George will be held Friday, February 2, 2024 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Ridout's-Brown-Service Prattville Chapel, 347 E Main St, Prattville, Alabama 36067.

A funeral service and interment will be held at the St. Bernard’s Abbey in Cullman, on February 10th, and a Celebration of Life gathering will be held at his family home on April 13th in Prattville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Bernard’s Abbey or to Catholic Charities to support the Church, which brought so much meaning to his life.

We love you, George, and will miss you dearly.
