PATRICK CHRISTIAN SNAVELY Age 39, on Thursday, June 18, 2020, of Truckee, CA. With our deepest sorrow, we announce the sudden passing of Patrick Christian Snavely at his home in Truckee, CA, on June 18, 2020. Patrick was a central fixture in a large and loving family. He was a kind and generous person who will be forever missed by many. His strong character, independent spirit, and infectious laugh will be remembered by all who knew him. Patrick was the beloved son of Peggy and Steve Snavely; brother to Laura (Owen Vaughn), brother to Eric (Maureen Mann); adoring uncle to Scott and Cormac; and grandson of Theresa V. Snavely, her late husband Christian M. Snavely and the late Irene and Robert F. Breen. In addition to his immediate family, Patrick was a cherished friend, mentor, and confidant to his extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. Patrick's story has an impressive collection of memorable chapters. With a life that began in Pittsburgh, his journey included public service as a volunteer firefighter, graduation from Upper St. Clair High School, an undergraduate degree from Tulane University, and an MBA from Wake Forest University. Patrick spent 16 years in commercial banking, had expertise in the financial markets and was most recently a small business broker in Laguna Beach, CA. His true passion for long-haul trucking was fulfilled by crisscrossing “the lower 48” a plethora of times in his Chevy pickup truck with the windows down and tunes turned up. He had an encyclopedic knowledge and love for all music and an inexplicable interest in 80's rock star biographies. Patrick had an absolute devotion to his adorable nephews Scotty and Mac; dedicating an entire room to their comfort and joy at his Truckee home. Patrick collected many friends along the way, nurturing relationships as a top priority. As a minor Instagram celebrity, he brought his devoted “tweepies” joy and laughter with his refreshingly honest, obscure, and always hilarious content. Patrick's passing will never erase the boisterous humor, moral convictions, immense heart, and sensitive nature he bestowed on his friends and family. In the quiet moments ahead, he will be remembered for his uncanny ability to reference arcane quotes from a vast library of classic movies and The Simpsons in perfect context and timing. The funeral service will be private. On a future date, the Snavely family will host a reception for all to honor Patrick's life. In lieu of flowers, Patrick would be pleased with your support for the “Patrick C. Snavely Scholarship Fund”, Tulane University, P.O. Box 61075, New Orleans, LA 70161-9986 or the mental health organization of your choice. Arrangements by JOHN F. SLATER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Roa, Pittsburgh, PA 15227.

CAROL JANET (COPE) PASTOR Carol J. Pastor, a lifelong teacher whose fondness for Disney was eclipsed only by her steadfast faith, love of family and deep affection for her friends, died on July 8, 2020, after a long battle with cancer. She was 74. Carol died peacefully in her sleep in her home of 45 years, her husband and three children at her side. Carol was a mother first and foremost and raised her three boys to be kind and courteous, respect others and remember nothing is more important than family. A teacher at St. Teresa of Avila School in Perrysville for 34 years, she taught her students the value of faith and education. If they believed in themselves, trusted in God and tried their best, she told them, they could accomplish anything. A beloved colleague and friend, Carol saw the best in everyone. She had an irrepressible optimism and self-deprecating sense of humor that drew others to her and put their needs before her own. She was a sympathetic ear, a calming touch or a shoulder to cry on. Carol loved all things Disney and worked at the Disney Store in Ross Park Mall for 14 years, developing lifelong friendships and earning a cherished Purple Pass. She visited Disney World each summer and considered it the second-happiest place on earth. The first was her home at Christmas, her family gathered around the dining room table. Twelve years after surviving cancer, she received a second cancer diagnosis. She endured surgery and chemotherapy for two years not because she needed more from life, but because she knew others needed her. Before her final appointment, she delivered cookies and protective masks made by her granddaughter, Emme, to her doctors as a way of saying goodbye and thanking them for their support. In her final days, all of that love came back to her. Despite a national pandemic that kept people apart, family, friends, neighbors, former colleagues and students visited to check on her, bring her food or supplies, and to make sure she and her family knew they were in their thoughts and prayers. Carol was born to Alfred John Cope and Pauline Isabel Colwell on Sept. 24, 1945, in Butler. She attended Butler High School and Edinboro University. She met Frank Pastor, who went to Gannon University, through mutual friends at a basketball game. They were married on June 17, 1967 and recently celebrated their 53rd anniversary. Carol was twice President of the Perry Highland Junior Women's Club, a community service organization, and a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Professional Honorary Association. She is survived by her husband, Frank; children Frank Jr. (Courtney Cairns), Shawn (Nikita Malhotra) and Brian (Joshanna Robinson); and grandchildren Ryan, Emme and Nate, who brought her more joy than even the Main Street Electrical Parade. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Alfred J. Cope. A private funeral service was held Monday at St. Teresa of Avila Church with Fr. Mike Zavage presiding. Interment followed at Christ Our Redeemer Cemetery. Memorials or donations may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
