DEGORY JANE LOUISE (LASSER) ...
DEGORY JANE LOUISE (LASSER) (MILLER) The world lost one of its purest, brightest lights on December 30, when Jane Louise Degory (Lasser) (Miller) left us far too soon. Born in Turtle Creek, PA, Jane found in success both personally and professionally, owed to her work ethic, determination, and unwavering faith. While she had an accomplished career in business, her most important roles in life were as a truly incomparable mother and grandmother. Her granddaughters, Isabella and Olivia, were the lights of her life; she was never happier than when she could hold, play with, care for, and spoil them. She was a never-ending source of strength, support, and unconditional love for her children Steven, Christopher, Jennifer, and John, Jr. The love story she shared with her husband John was one for the ages. Their partnership was unshakable, and they seemed to find new ways to adore each other with each passing day. As the bedrock of her family, Jane exuded pure selflessness and joy until her final breath. Family and friends are welcome to pay their respects at THOMAS S. LOWTHER FUNERAL HOME in Vero Beach, FL on Friday, January 5 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. and 6:00-9:00 p.m. After a Funeral Service at the funeral home on Saturday, January 6 at 10:00 a.m. Jane will be laid to rest at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Ft. Pierce, FL. Jane's family will host a celebration of her extraordinary life in Pittsburgh, PA later this month. While her earthly light may have extinguished, we know her spirit shines brighter than ever in the hearts of her family, friends, and the countless people whose lives she touched.

THIEL WILLIAM PAUL William Paul Thiel; a hard-working man, tireless craftsman, and builder of both dreams and homes, passed away on Sunday, December 31, 2017, surrounded by family in the Gibsonia home that he built in 1974. It was both a place to raise three children and also soft place to land during the last days of a life well lived. After a courageous battle with cancer, Bill passed away at the age of 82. Over the years, he was lovingly and playfully referred to as Honey Bunch by his faithful and lifelong love, Jessie. He was a lover of palm trees and ocean breeze of the sunshine state, he was a coin collector with sense, he believed that old jeeps never die - they get rebuilt, and always made time for the things that he and his wife, Jessie, enjoyed, such as gardening. Bill also enjoyed a good game of cards, believing that it's not about the cards you've been dealt, but it's how hard you play your hand. Above all, he loved making memories with his family, who have come to understand that when someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Bill will forever be missed by his wife of 59 years, Jessie Thiel; three children, Michele Thiel-Hrydil (husband, Perry Hrydil) of Gibsonia, Michael Thiel (wife, Trish Thiel) of Shaler and Teresa Thiel-Kohut (husband, John Kohut) of Butler. Bill will also be dearly remembered by his seven grandchildren, Luke, Steven, Jennifer, Danielle, Sarah, Peter and Matthew; five great- grandchildren, Eli, Jax, William, Felicity, and Anna. Also, several nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Katherine Thiel; and brothers, Henry and Robert Thiel.
