BARNES JOANNE THERESA Joanne Theresa Barnes, aged 81, passed away on Tuesday, September 12, 2017, at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. Joanne was born October 1, 1935, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the daughter of the late Francis Michael Gilboy and Helen Marie Vukelich. On September 3, 1955, Joanne married the love of her life, the late Harvey Lea Barnes, Jr. in Detroit, Michigan and, in 1960, relocated to Bellevue, PA, a lovely suburb of Pittsburgh, PA where Joanne's legacy began. Joanne was a loving mother to her 12 high-spirited children as well as many surrogate children along the way. Despite having 14 mouths to feed, there was always room for one or two more at 38 South Bryant. Joanne's greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and her favorite place to go with them was Nags Head, NC. In addition to being incredibly gifted in the arts of sewing and cooking, Joanne had a beautiful voice that could be heard in the pew at First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, PA for over 20 years. Holidays were magical because of Joanne. Her attention to detail in gift-giving and meal preparation seemed impossible to achieve with a family so large, yet she did so with grace and poise. Joanne was preceded in death by her loving husband, Harvey Lea Barnes, Jr.; granddaughters, Blair Denise Taylor and Lauren May Reinstein; daughter-in-law, Sandra Grace Barnes; and her brother, Arthur Frederick Lampe.

DEVENS EUGENIA NASH EUGENIA WA...
DEVENS EUGENIA NASH Eugenia was born the 6th of July, 1922, in Portsmouth, Virginia, to Monroe and Helen Nash. She came of age during the Great Depression and then World War II. She worked at the nearby Naval Hospital, where she witnessed the true cost of war. Her older brother, Charles Nash, died as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Corps at the age of 21. She moved to California to be with her sister, Betsy, whose husband was stationed there, and met her husband, Robert McWhinney. They moved to his hometown of Homestead, PA in 1945 and proceeded to have five children over 16 years: Julia, Helen, Charlie, Sam and Monroe (Rody). They moved to Sewickley in 1959, where Eugenia became very active in the community. She was a Sunday School teacher and a member of the Vestry at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. In 1965, she and two other women started the first ever women-owned real estate company in the state, Sewickley Town and Country Real Estate, a successful business they had for 15 years. Eugenia had a knack for finding the perfect house for her clients. In 1979, at age 58, she decided to work on her lifelong goal of a college education and enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh. Even though she had never attended college before, she graduated in two years. By the time she was 61, she had a Master of Library Science degree, and worked for some time as a professional corporate librarian. She was a longtime member of the Sewickley Garden Club and the Union Aid Society. She was on the Sewickley Borough Historic Review Board for several years and was a member of the Edgeworth Club and the Allegheny Country Club, the latter for almost six decades. She was the first woman to be on the membership committee there. She made volunteering a career: she taught adults to read (a skill she impressed on her children), she worked the Sewickley Academy's Clothesline Sale, and she and her husband, Harry Devens, delivered Meals on Wheels together for many years. She generously contributed to many charities. Eugenia was a lifelong Bridge player. If it was 2:00 on a Wednesday, she was at Duplicate. She was a very good player, and a partner of choice well into her 80's. Eugenia was a locally famous maker of Chutney and Green Tomato Pickle, which her neighbors would look forward to every Christmas along with some of her famous spiced beef. She loved to entertain, and her Christmas Day afternoon party was famous. She held her last cocktail party just before her 95th birthday. She is survived by and will be greatly missed by her brother, Rody Nash of Virginia Beach; and her five children: Julia Woodward of Dallas, Helen Moriyama (Halley) of Wellesley, Charles Halcomb (Ellie) of State College, PA, Sam Halcomb (Betsy) and Monroe (Rody) Nash (Michelle) of Sewickley. Eugenia also enjoyed 12 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She invited all to enjoy her much loved beach cottage in the Outer Banks, where she enjoyed long walks on the beach as well as cocktail hour on the deck. She was very well cared for by a group of loving women, primarily her daughter-in-law, Felicity. A memorial service will be held at the Masonic Village Assembly room at 12:00 p.m. Saturday, September 30, 2017, led by her friend, Reverend Tim Reichard. Arrangements by COPELAND'S.
