Obituary For Barbara Ruth (Seebacher) Zandier

Age 85 of Carrick, on November 22, 2024, surrounded by her family, of pancreatic cancer. Loving wife of Thomas J. Zandier for 65 years. Devoted mother of Thomas P. (Debbie) of Ohio, Terri (David) Staudt, Tina Famiglietti, Tracey (Dan) Somma, Todd (Lisa) and Tricia (Michael) Fetsko. Her grandchildren were the light of her life - Thomas, Jr. (Angela), Melissa (Scott) Hubsch, Ashley Staudt, Vince Famiglietti, Micaela (Nathan) Siebert, Nicholas and Luke Somma, Todd, II (Danielle), Cameron (Kelsie), Ian (Kayla) and Maggie Zandier, Shane (Julie), Connor and Faith Fetsko; step-grandchildren Mark (the late Jamie) Einheit of Ohio and Dana (Kyle) Munich of Ohio. Her growing family was her pride and joy, and she lit up when her great-grandchildren were in the room – Santino, Ariella, Skylar, Ziggy, Milo and Vienna – and step-great-grands of Ohio – Charlotte, Amelia, Mila, Cameron and Marleigh. Daughter of the late Cyril Seebacher and Ruth Lehrman Seebacher; sister of the late Major John “Jack” Seebacher (the late Mary Ann), Judi (Larry) Heenan, MaryAnn (Mike) Gula and Noreen (Asa Aarons) Smith of South Carolina. Many nieces, nephews and Godchildren. She was a loving “Gram Barb” to the late Matthew Stock. Barb instilled in her children and grandchildren a strong work ethic, a solid foundation, the joy of giving, a Catholic upbringing and her love of cooking and baking. She was a proud member of St. Wendelin Class of ’57 and she helped to plan their class reunions through their 65-year Reunion. Barb was best known for her Pound Cake and Gobs that she would bake or the many types of cookies and chocolates that appeared at every event she attended. She was a Girl Scout Leader and volunteered for any organization her kids would join. After raising her family, Barb worked as a Legislative Aide, and then at Sugar ‘n Spice Ice Cream & Candy Supplies. Barb was a seamstress who made many of her kids’ clothes. She hosted craft days for the children in her life who still tell stories of making everything from pillows to gingerbread houses. The family thanks Bridges Hospice, especially Brenda W. and Tabitha G. Family and Friends will be received at John F. Slater Funeral Home, 4201 Brownsville Rd., Pgh., PA 15227 Tuesday, November 26 from 2:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Funeral prayer on Wednesday morning at 9:45.
