DR. ROSEMARIE E. CIBIK Dr. Rosemarie E. Cibik, a pioneer in the field of education, died February 28, 2020. Rosemarie was born on December 2, 1923 to Domenico (Thomas) Scavariello and Elizabeth Ziviello Scavariello. A member of McKeesport High School's championship debate team and valedictorian of her graduating class, Rosemarie earned a scholarship to attend the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and a Master Degree in Education. While at Pitt, she met her now deceased husband, Dr. Edward P. Cibik, Jr., also a career educator. They married on June 15, 1955. At the age of 26, she became the Principal of Robinson Township High School, which later became Montour Junior-Senior High School. With the unwavering support of her husband, she later went on to earn her Doctorate in Education before becoming the Superintendent of Baldwin-Whitehall School District, making her the second female superintendent in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (and the first in Allegheny County). In 1992, she became the first laywoman ever appointed Secretary for Education of a Catholic Diocese. Rosemarie also had various positions at Point Park University, including Chairman of the Department of Education and Professor. Her many accolades include being a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, Carlow College's Woman of Spirit, Pittsburgh Woman of the Year in Education, Duquesne University's Distinguished Service Award, and the National School Boards Association's “One Hundred of North America's Top School Executives.” In Rosemarie's opinion, however, her greatest accomplishment was her two successful daughters, Lisa M. Cibik, MD, FACS (married to Bernard J. Kobosky, Jr.), President of Associates in Ophthalmology (AIO) and Medical Director of AIO's Ambulatory Surgery Center, and Melanie S. Cibik, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. She also bragged about her granddaughter, Alexandra M. Good, Esq.

JANET FLORENCE RAGER SHOWERS Passed away on February 29, 2020, at the age of 95, at her home in Plum, PA, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Clintondale, PA. She was the oldest child of Henrietta Shollenberger Rager and Oscar D. Rager. She was predeceased by both of her younger siblings, Sheila and Bill, as well as her parents. Janet married Max Showers, a WWII veteran, of Lamar, PA in 1946 and they enjoyed 50 years of marriage until his death in 1996. They raised, and she is survived by four daughters, Eileen Milakovic (Conrad Sugrue) of Pittsburgh, Jann (Don) Miller of Lake Worth, FL, Lou Ann (John) Bigelow of Pulaski, NY, and Carolyn (Chuck) Baker of Vandergrift, PA. She is also survived by grandchildren, Danny (Bekah) and Maxx-Anne Miller, Cortney and Jonathon (Jill) Bigelow, Laurel (Jake) Smail, and Kari (Andrew) Kubacki and seven adored great-grandchildren who have been the light of her later years. In her late 80's Janet moved from Lewistown, PA, where the family had lived since 1967, to Plum, PA, to be near her family. She enjoyed life as a “snow bird” wintering with her daughter Jann in Florida for nearly 20 years. Janet was an active member of Trinity Tower United Methodist Church in Penn Hills after her move, and prior to that was involved with many activities at Rhodes Memorial United Methodist Church in Lewistown. She was an avid cook and baker, always at the ready with donations for bake sales, and a skilled seamstress, constantly creating and repairing with fabric finds for friends and family alike. She also enjoyed Thursday night bingo at Clover Commons. She was an avid walker for years, putting to shame many who are years younger. In recent years she made baby blankets for the birth of each of her great-grandchildren. She always had a word seek book and a novel nearby to keep her occupied. Her hands were never idle as she knit scarves and dishcloths for friends, family and church fundraisers. Her final resting place will be with her beloved Max at Juniata Memorial Park in Lewistown, PA.
