NANCY GROSS BERKOWITZ Born on October 24, 1933, in Buffalo, NY, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and fighter, died on Saturday, October17, 2020, at home in Pittsburgh. Beloved wife of Lester; loving mother of Ellen (Philadelphia) and David (Washington, D.C.); loving grandmother of Abigail; and beloved aunt to multiple nieces and nephews. After graduating from Smith College, she worked for Doubleday and other publishers, eventually working on Alfred A. Knopf's memoirs. She met her husband on a blind date in Manhattanin 1958. They were happily married for nearly 62 years. She worked as an editor her entire life. After moving to Pittsburgh, she edited for the Western Psychiatric Institute, the University of Pittsburgh, Westinghouse Research & Development, Rodef Shalom, and Rabbi Walter Jacob. She was a talented cook, baker and gardener. In 1990, she was diagnosed with MS. She began taking exercise classes, making her body as strong as possible and learning everything she could about the disease. When she had a short hospitalization, she realized the importance of people having advocates and became a volunteer ombudsman through the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging. She read to twin girls through Beginning with Books until well past when the program usually ended. She had an innate sense of justice. She stuck up for kids who were mistreated, storming into the principal's office with a handful of change when a teacher refused to provide a Weekly Reader to a child who hadn't paid the 35 cents. She was on the board of the United Nations Association of Pittsburgh and active in the ACLU. She was overjoyed and amazed and full of hope at the election of Barack Obama. She mourned John Lewis. She believed in our democracy. She made her children watch the Watergate hearings and told them that the Constitution was magnificent and the system worked. She was compassionate and kind, and the meanness of the past four years wore on her. She believed we were better than this. But she didn't demonize people she loved who felt differently. She did not get to vote. In her memory, please appreciate the gift of democracy. In the last years of her life, she struggled with her illness. She never complained. She continued to be the same loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend she had always been. Graveside Services and Interment were held at West View Cemetery of Rodef Shalom Congregation. Donations to National MS Society, Rodef Shalom Congregation, and the American Civil Liberties Union, Pittsburgh Chapter.

JOANNE (LEONARD) AND EDWIN HUTCHISON "HUTCH" As a testimonial to the 57 years they shared together, devoted as husband and wife, Joanne and Hutch passed away only 12 hours apart from one another. In true fashion, Hutch would have wanted to make sure his beloved wife was escorted through the pearly gates with ease. Joanne was born in Homewood, attended Holy Cross, and graduated from Penn Hills High School. She is survived by her sister, Janis Liscotti; and preceded in death by her parents, Mary (Barrett) Leonard, John James Leonard; and sisters, Mary Kay Howard and Carol Leonard. Hutch was born and raised in Swissvale, where he graduated from Swissvale High School and attended Grove City College. He is survived by his sister, June Tomasko; and preceded in death by his parents, Clara (Stroschein) Hutchison and Edwin Samuel Hutchison; and siblings, Betty Kail and William Hutchison. Joanne and Hutch met through friends at an iconic institution every Pittsburgher loves, Eat-N-Park. After marrying in Los Angeles, they returned to Pittsburgh to raise their children, Sean, Shari and Ryan, in Penn Hills. Joanne and Hutch enjoyed their many years in Crescent Gardens and being part of the Civic Association. They could be found Sunday mornings in the neighborhood church, St. Susannah, sitting in the same pew each week. Joanne was a homemaker, who went back to work as a secretary at Westinghouse as her children entered their teenage years. Hutch owned Sheridan Upholstering and Manufacturing Company, supplying furniture to restaurants throughout the tri-state region. Above all, they were a united front, raising and instilling in their children a strong sense of humility, loyalty, work ethic, and knowing right from wrong. Lovingly known as "GiGi and Pap," Joanne and Hutch were most proud of their children, daughters-in-law, Wendy (Klauss) Hutchison and Patti (Casey) Hutchison; and grandchildren, Shea, Lydia and Reilly Mahan, Conor and Finian Hutchison, and Collin, Casey, Padraic and Rory Hutchison. Their greatest joy came from traveling to Connecticut, Atlanta, or locally to visit and attend their grandchildren's sporting events, theater performances, or simply to watch television, chat, or bake together. Inseparable in life, and now in their transition to the other side, their family is grateful and content, knowing they are resting together in peace in the comfort of the Lord. Family and friends will be received Friday, October 23, 2020, from 4-7 p.m. at JOBE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY, INC. (MONROEVILLE/PLUM CHAPEL), 445 Beatty Road, Monroeville (412-856-4747).
