Obituary For Claire Judith "Judy" Rebholz

Age 76, a longtime resident of Pittsburgh, passed away at home on Thursday, December 23, 2021.

Claire was born on March 7, 1945 in Pittsburgh to Frederick and Nellie Kullman. She was the youngest of nine children. She had three brothers, the late Donald, Robert, and Ralph and five sisters, Dorothy, Mary Ann, Jane, Margaret and Geraldine. She is the beloved wife of Norbert Rebholz for over 57 years. They were blessed with five children, Norbert (Susan), Thomas (Karen), Philip (Sharon), Suzanne (David) Gielarowski and Brian (Tammy); ten grandchildren, Joshua (Brittany), Chelsie (Jay) Coll, Elisabeth, Mitchell R., Matthew, Mitchell T., Danielle, Victoria, Madison and Samantha; and five great-grandchildren; Hayden, Jackson, Gianna, Cameron and Isla. She is also survived by close friends, Geraldine Pferdehirt, Andrew Rebholz, Ruth Kullman, Gary Vogelsberger and Linda Jones as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was a devoted Catholic who grew up working in her family's bakery (Kullman) where she met the love of her life - Norb. As Judy and Norb began their life together, Judy became the matriarch of the family. She was known for her involvement in the community volunteering at St. Canice Church and school, the Mount Oliver Chamber of Commerce and the Greene County Catholic Women's Guild. After her time at Kullman's bakery, Judy spent the majority of her time as Norb's office manager for his Tax/Insurance business where she interacted with the customers and managed the day to day operations. As retirement neared, Judy adopted the country lifestyle with Norb and moved to Holbrook, PA where she continued to work around their property.

Not only did Claire enjoy working, she also enjoyed cooking, planning gatherings, and spending time with her family. She was a true party planner at heart; gifted at decorating and organizing memorable gatherings. She thrived on interacting with people and could be found teasing and bantering with her family. She wanted the best for her family and treated everyone equally. She spent time teaching valuable lessons to her grandchildren while helping her children navigate life. She will be missed by many.

Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Monday, December 27, 2021 from 12-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Tuesday morning at 9:45.
