Our home was the center for all family holidays with so much food, the eating went on for two days. Mom was the perfect loving great-grandmother, grandmother, and aunt, she taught us to be determined and to be strong. She completed high school while caring for her invalid mother. She dreamed of becoming a nurse and was finally able to realize that goal at the age of 33, as an LPN in the ICU of Shadyside Hospital. Mom was our rock during the times when dad was ill, comforting us when he passed. Mom held our family together through the difficult times and made every celebration special.

The peaceful sound of Irish music, “May the road rise up to meet you” and thoughts of the love of his life, Gerry, waiting for him in Heaven carried him away!

We all know the iced tea and dinner, a cold beer and dancing shoes were ready for him! To those of us who called him Dad, Tom, Jr. (Janice) Fitzgerald, Cathy (Ed) Bell, Bob Fitzgerald and Sue (Jeff) Predmore, your patient, kind, loving ways will never be forgotten. They will live on in each of us as a daily tribute to all you shared with us in your lifetime. To those who called him Pap, Tim (Beth), Jessica (Brian), Elijah (Amanda), Ed, Dylan, Erica, Ryan, Justin and Morgan, the fond memories they each have will forever keep you alive in their hearts. Also loved by six great-grandchildren.

HARVEY GILBERT TEXTER Just shy of 84 years young, of Cranberry Township, formerly of Boyers, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 21st. Harvey was born on May 10, 1936 in Venango County, the son of the late Harvey Franklin Texter and Zethina Rose Wilson Texter. Harvey was honored to have achieved the 32nd Degree of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of New Castle and was a member of the Freemasons of the Grove City Masonic Lodge No. 603. He was a lifetime member of the Marion Township Volunteer Fire Department and the president of the organization when they added emergency medical services in the 1970s. Harvey was also an active member of St. Alphonsus and Epiphany Catholic Churches in Boyers, PA. Quite the athlete in his day, Harvey loved spending his time on the baseball diamond, even winning the 1955 Butler County Junior League Championship, one of his proudest moments. Most of all, Harvey loved watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren participate in sports, dance and cheerleading. There wasn't an athletic field that Harvey didn't love to be at and there wasn't anyone cheering louder for the players than him! Surviving are his loving daughter, Judith (Alex) Zedreck-Gonzalez of Allison Park; two grandchildren, Courtney (Eric) Proie of Mars and Colin (Erin) Zedreck of New Castle; two great-grandchildren, Eric and Alexandra Proie; three great-granddogs, Mia and Milo Zedreck and Bruno Proie, along with his numerous furry friends at Berkley Creek Labradors; his sisters, Patsy (Mike) Greenert and Elaine (Dave) Shook, both of Eau Claire, PA; and numerous loving nieces and nephews. He was especially grateful for the messages and calls from his niece, Priscilla Simmons and nephews/godsons, Greg (Michelle) Fitzingo and Kirby (Courtney Burgoon) Fitzingo. Harvey was preceded in death by his loving wife of 60 years, Mary Frances (Tootsie) Fitzingo Texter, his sister, Roseanna Karenbauer and his brother, Eugene Texter. Harvey's family knows he was also met by showers of wet kisses from his many loyal dogs, led by his favorites- Fox Dog: King, Doberman: Apache, and Shih Tzu: Louie. Harvey's fun-loving and generous character is evident by the numerous lifelong friends and dear neighbors that he gathered throughout his years. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, a memorial celebration of life will take place during the summer. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Marion Township Volunteer Fire Company at P.O. Box 136, Boyers, PA 16020. www.youngfuneralhomes.com Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
