VALALIK WILLIAM IT IS WITH GRE...
VALALIK WILLIAM It is with great sadness that the family of William Valalik, age 74, announce his passing on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at UPMC Presbyterian University Hospital. William was also known by Bill, Mr. V and Hawk. Survived by his wife Barbara, of almost 48 years; daughter, Stacey (Peter Sabat), of Squirrel Hill; son, Jason of Seattle, Washington; sister Patricia Valalik of Wisconsin; sister-in-law, Adele Gibilisco, of Texas; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of long-time friends. Bill followed in his father's footsteps and started working at the Firth Steel Mill in Mckeesport. Bill quickly realized that he wasn't cut out for life as a steelworker and the field of biology was calling to him. He received his Bachelor's from California State Teacher's College, now known as the California State University of Pennsylvania, then continued on for his master's degree at West Virginia University. After receiving his master's he spent 35 years teaching high school biology at Carnegie High School, now known as Carlynton High School, where he was a finalist for the Teacher Excellence Award. When he wasn't teaching biology at Carlynton he spent his time learning more about the field by volunteering for programs like Earthwatch where he participated in a mongoose study or volunteering as an instructor for the Carnegie Science Center on their Explorer boat. Bill also loved coaching and playing sports and when he wasn't expanding his knowledge in the field of biology he was coaching women's basketball, track, and men's baseball. He also taught swimming for Special Olympics. In his summers off from teaching he spent a summer managing Iron City Fishing Club in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada, managed swimming pools such as Hidden Valley Country Club, Valley Brook Country Club and South Hills YMCA. After he retired from Carlynton he was an Associate Professor of Biology at Community College of Allegheny County, CCAC South Campus for an additional 12 years. He also spent many weekends volunteering at the Pittsburgh Zoo fending off sharks and turtles as he cleaned their tank. Bill's favorite things were teaching biology, traveling, scuba diving, reading and driving his wife crazy. In keeping with the wishes of Bill, there will be no funeral services.

DEMAO CHRISTINE ANN TINA (HO...
DeMAO CHRISTINE ANN TINA (HODGES) Tina DeMao passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, August 7, 2017, in her home in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania. She was sixty-five years old and had struggled with advanced cellulitis and related complications for the last year of her life. Tina was born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1951 as the third child of Percy Taylor Hodges, Jr., and Mildred Ray (Boggs) Hodges. She spent her childhood with her siblings, Billy, Sharon, and Paul on the beaches of East Ocean View and dancing jazz, tap, toe, and ballet. She graduated from Granby High School in 1970 and married Naval Operations Specialist Walter Dennis DeMao shortly thereafter. Once married, she left the Tidewater area and relocated to Dennis's hometown of Springdale, Pennsylvania. Tina spent her twenty-three-year marriage to Dennis as a devoted mother and reluctant homemaker. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1993. The second act of Tina's life was nothing short of a Cinderella story. She began her career as an unskilled worker on the assembly line at Pennex Products in Verona, Pennsylvania in 1989. In 1992 she began working at Carson Industries in Slate Lick, Pennsylvania. Her active involvement in the union there as a Financial Secretary, Contract Negotiator, and Grievance Chairperson led to a successful career as a Staff Representative for the California Nurses Association (CNA) in 2003 in Sacramento, California and then as a Field Organizer for the United Steelworkers (USW) union based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2004. Tina's financial struggles as a working single mother and her personal experience of the transformative power of work made her a tireless advocate for the union. She spent the last thirteen years of her life organizing thousands of workers across the United States often championing the underrepresented. Tina was a formidable unionist who loved the union and was loved in return. Her dedication led to many workers around the country having better lives. Tina was fiercely independent and was happiest in her home watching political news shows and playing online games. She was a proud and vocal supporter of the union and the democratic party and never met an online political debate that she didn't enjoy. She was a voracious reader throughout her life and loved historical and crime romance novels in particular. She was an indulgent grandmother to her cherished grand-dogs Buddy, Maya, Mama Scoots, Stanley, and Henry. Tina's greatest legacy is the two equally formidable and fiercely independent daughters who she leaves behind. Tina was preceded in death by her father, Captain P.T. Hodges, Jr., in 2010 and her mother, Mildred Ray (Boggs) Hodges in 1976. Tina is survived by her daughter, Christine T. DeMao, of Pine Township, PA, her daughter, Bernadette DeMao Hunter, of San Jose, CA; her brother, William Billy (Pat) Hodges, of Norfolk, VA; her sister, Sharon (Ron) Hurwitz, of Norfolk, VA; her brother, Paul (Barbara) Hodges, of Currituck, NC; her nephew, John Hodges, of Norfolk, VA; her niece, Sanderlin Hodges, of Elkin, NC; her niece, Allena (Neil) Anglen, of Norfolk, VA; her niece, Chelsea Humphries of Newport, NC; her nephew, Hunter (Gina) Hodges, of Oklahoma City, OK; her nephew, Jake Hodges, of Currituck, NC; and her grand-dog, Henry of Pine Township, PA. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to her favorite local charity and animal rescue, Orphans of the Storm, P.O. Box 838, Kittanning, PA 16201.
