Angela Pazman (pronounced PAWS-MAN)

Age 86, of Murrysville, passed peacefully on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 (ironically on her loving husband Chuck’s birthday). Devoted mother of Charles Allen (Cheryl) Pazman, Julie Anne (Doug) Wright; beloved grandmother of Michelle (Candice) Bowman, Abbi (Joe) Farrell, Alyssa (Francesco) Andreoli, & Jacob, Alli, Noah, Macey, Mitchell, Eli & Evan Wright; great-grandmother of Hayden Wright, Camryn Bowman & Frankie Andreoli. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles and son John.

Angela, aka Babe or Angie, was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Her family originated from Italy and settled in Oakmont. As a teenager, she was kept busy with young cousins & nephews. In high school is where she met her sweetheart and they made so many memories together. She was the head majorette and he was the drum major for Oakmont High School, class of 1955. After working for Westinghouse as a secretary, they relocated to Holiday Park, Plum Boro to raise their family. Angela worked for Holiday Park Elementary School as a librarian. After retirement, they moved to Murrysville and enjoyed 30 more years together. They loved cruises and traveled all over the United States. Many trips were accompanied by their dearest friends. She loved the Casino and had special games she would play for hours, enjoyed dinner out, shopping with her sister Josie and sharing many birthdays with her best friend, Marlene. 

Mom had a green thumb and grew the most beautiful flowers in her sunroom or her yard full of potted plants. Pansies, orchids and deep pink geraniums , clematis, her ficus tree, aloe vera plants & Christmas cactus were her favorites. She took great pride in all her plants and passed this on to future generations.

When the grandchildren came along, she was called Grandma or Nana. She spoiled them with “Smarties”, goodies, and report card quarters. Mom shared stories of her childhood heritage, how hard her parents worked in their grocery store and market, and amazing details from long ago. The kids loved her baking ability, whether it was her marble cake, with famous bakers icing, to apple dumplings or crisp, or annual Christmas cookie day! From Sunday dinners, to sharing in their religious life, family birthday parties, special surprises at the holidays and even teaching the kids about sewing. Most favorite of all, at any time, she would pull out a deck of cards and play War, Rummy, Poker, or Gin with her grandchildren gathered around the kitchen table. 

The family would like to thank our amazing caregivers during this extended period. Kathy, Yanique, and Erica showed her love and respect beyond words. We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding care of Heartland Hospice and Staff, they treated mom like an angel…thank you Kim, Christine & Teresa.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024 at 10:30 AM in Holy Family Parish (St. Irenaeus Church), 387 Maryland Ave., Oakmont, PA 15139, followed by interment at Plum Creek Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Contributions may be made in Angela’s name to A Glimmer of Hope, a nonprofit organization advocating for Breast Cancer advancement, at symbolofthecure.com
