SUMMARY:Shirley Lotz Grossman
DESCRIPTION:GROSSMAN: Shirley Lotz Grossman\, on April 24\, 2018\, while surrounded by her family\, peacefully passed to be with her adoring husband of 72 years Bernard “Bob” Grossman. Survived by her daughters Michele (Dan) Babuscio and Joan (Mark) Neitznick; grandchildren Bari and Melanie Medgaus\, Sarah and Ryan (Mary) Neitznick\, Danielle Morgan and Justin Babuscio; and great-grandchildren Jayda Medgaus\, Henry Neitznick\, and Rhys Morgan and several nieces and nephews. Born in the Bensonhurst district of Brooklyn\, Bob’s business first took them to Miami\, then north again making Pittsburgh their home for over 50 years. Given Shirley’s God-given talents Shirley could have chosen many career paths\, but besides her full-time job raising her family\, Shirley worked part time at many small retail establishments around the area\, finally retiring from Sears as a jewelry salesperson at the ripe young age of 86. Shirley’s true passion though was always her love for her husband Bob and her children Michele (Shelley) and Joan\, her grandchildren and precious great-grandchildren. If a manual is ever written on how to be a successful mother/wife and in general a decent human being\, Shirley would be the individual described in that book. There are many words to describe Shirley but the words that stick out the most to describe her are loving\, empathetic\, caring\, compassionate\, insightful\, intelligent\, honest and kind. Truly a gentle soul\, Shirley had the temperament of a lion when it came to caring and protecting her family and the ones she loved. Shirley saw all people through a single lens\, a rarity in today’s world\, never judgmental and always finding the goodness in everyone she met. To those who knew Shirley\, or had the opportunity to meet her\, few walked away from that encounter not feeling they had just met an angel. Shirley was a living example of the Golden Rule\, someone you can honestly say loved her neighbors as herself. Shirley embodied a spirit that all of us should strive to. If the opportunity would have presented itself Shirley probably would have matriculated through college to become a teacher. That is not to say Shirley did not go through her life teaching. The lessons Shirley taught are the most important lessons in life to learn but sadly for some the most difficult to understand. As we awake today in Shirley’s absence we find the world a little less kind and a little less loving but hopefully from the lessons Shirley taught us all on what it means to be a good person\, those lessons will be carried through to fill the void Shirley’s absence will most certainly leave behind. Graveside services and interment will be held on Wednesday at 2 PM at Betty Rosenberg – Parkway Jewish Center Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel\, Inc. schugar.com

SUMMARY:Marjorie Baer Allon
DESCRIPTION:Marjorie Baer Allon\n	\nALLON: Marjorie Baer Allon\, a mother of four and the former owner of Marjie Allon Fine Stationery in Shadyside\, died Monday\, October 1\, 2018\, at the age of 95. The middle child of Dr. Harry Baer and Lillian (Mervis) Baer\, Mrs. Allon became a fixture on Walnut Street\, helping customers design wedding invitations\, birth announcements\, thank you notes and other paper-based correspondence for 38 years.  “She loved working with people\, talking with people\, and thinking creatively to help customers design the right impressions for their messages\,” David Charles Allon\, her youngest son\, said.  “Outside of the business\, she carried the same lively\, engaging attitude to everyone she met.”  Mrs. Allon was ahead of her time\, operating a woman-owned business beginning in 1968 at the urging of her husband\, Joseph Allon\, the founder and operator of Pittsburgh-based Treasure Island Department Stores.  Her first store\, located just off the lobby of the Coronado Apartment building on Centre and Aiken\, was about 200 square feet. She quickly outgrew that space and moved to Filbert Street in Shadyside and then to her permanent location next to Schiller’s Pharmacy on Walnut Street.  When Marjie started her business\, there were few small stationery boutiques in the country. Stationery was sold primarily in department stores and Crane’s controlled the bulk of the high-end business.  As her clientele grew\, she worked diligently to diversify her business\, making regular trips to gift shows in New York as she added fine pens\, accessories\, gifts\, and greeting cards as well as personalized announcements printed by Crane’s. Within a few years of her move to Walnut Street\, Marjie’s small business had become the largest dealer of Crane’s stationery in western Pennsylvania and had a clientele that included Pittsburgh sports stars\, society figures and everyday working people across all neighborhoods\, as well as customers from neighboring states.  She is survived by her daughter Jane Allon (Michael) Cuddehe of Fairfield\, Iowa; Harvey Baer (Sue) Allon of Denver\, Colorado; Eric Robert (Monica) Allon of Boston\, Mass; and David (Pamela) Allon of Weston\, Conn.; 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren; her sister Sally Baer Moses; many nieces and nephews; and her caregiver Ronda Frederick.  “Long after she sold her business\,” her daughter Jane recalled\, “she delighted in encountering former customers who greeted her warmly and thanked her for the role she had played in creating the right announcements for their life events.  She loved working with her friends and customers\, and they loved working with her.” Services at RALPH SCHUGAR CHAPEL\, INC.\, 5509 Centre Avenue\, Shadyside on Wednesday at 10am. Visitation one hour prior (9-10AM).  Interment at West View Cemetery of Rodef Shalom Congregation\, Ross Twp. Contributions can be made to Jewish National Fund\, National Tree Order Center\, 78 Randall Avenue\, Rockville Centre\, NY\, 11570-3946.  schugar.com
