Josephine Michelle Harris (née Agostinelli)

HARRIS: Josephine Michelle Harris (née Agostinelli), Feb. 3, 1957 – Nov. 15, 2025. Known to everyone as Jody Harris, 68, of Pittsburgh, passed away suddenly on Nov. 15, 2025. Born Feb. 3, 1957, in Bridgeport, Ohio to the late Chief John Agostinelli Jr. and Josephine Agostinelli (née Shaheen). The middle of three children, Jody was also preceded in death by her sister, Susan Travis, whom she now joins in eternal rest. Jody lived her life with taste and intention, defined by her warm and selfless nature, whatever she could fit in a schlepper bag and a hot coffee in hand — with extra cream, always. A world traveler with a palate for the finest foods, Jody embraced every opportunity to experience something new. She loved her 40-plus year career in travel, turning clients into lifelong friends. She showed her daughters that the best gifts in life were experiences, memories made by saying “yes” to every adventure, trip and cultural opportunity that presented itself. Her girls will forever carry that spirit and her voice of meticulous etiquette with them. She will be deeply missed on every journey she eagerly anticipated. Jody is survived by her children, Rachel (Ryan) Springer and Rebecca Harris; her brother, John “Buck” Agostinelli III; niece and nephews, cousins and many special friends. In Jody’s own words, and in the spirit with which she lived her life: “Bon Voyage!” Friends will be received at Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., 5509 Centre Ave. (Shadyside) Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Graveside service and interment will be held at Weeks Cemetery, Starlight Drive (Township Road 478 / State Rt 250), Bridgeport, Ohio 43912, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, at 11 a.m. Shiva on Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made or you can volunteer at your local food pantry/soup kitchen or the Jewish Family and Community Services Pittsburgh (jfcspgh.org) or Chabad of the South Hills Pittsburgh (chabadsh.com). schugar.com PJC
