Linda Saree Skirboll Zwang

ZWANG: Linda Saree Skirboll Zwang, the heart of her family, left us on Jan. 2, 2026, at the age of 86. Linda was born in Pittsburgh on June 18, 1939. She was the devoted daughter of the late Jack and Anne Skirboll; the loving wife of the late Morris “Moe” Zwang; the proud mother of Frannie Tharrington (Tony), Debbie West (Joe), and Larry Zwang (Jodi); and the utterly adored “Gammy” to Madelyn Tharrington, Maya West, Jack West, Mitchell Zwang and Kendall Zwang. She was also the dear sister of the late Stanley and Alan Skirboll, a loving aunt to a whole crew of nieces and nephews, and a treasured friend to many. With her brother Alan by her side, Linda worked as a co-owner and bookkeeper at Franklin 5 & 10 and Franklin Fabrics. Later, she had a 20-plus-year career in the accounting department at Community Day School in Squirrel Hill. She enjoyed mahjong, vacations, and spending time with friends and family. Her grandkids were forever her “babies” — no matter how tall they grew — and she never missed a chance to sneak in a loving tushy pinch or an extra hug. Linda’s laughter, love and mischief will live in our hearts forever. Graveside service and interment will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Beth Shalom Cemetery. Please call the funeral home at 412.621.8282 for shiva information. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Community Day School (comday.org) or a charity of your choice.
