Obituary For Florence F. Sebesta

November 19, 1922 - June 22, 2019

Sebesta, Florence F. (Spisak) Age 96, a longtime resident of Whitehall, PA, surrounded by her loving family, went peacefully to be with her Lord on Saturday, June 22, 2019.

Born on November 19, 1922, she attended East Pittsburgh High School and graduated valedictorian of her class. While presenting her speech, she fell in love with her future husband, Dr. Charles F. Sebesta, who applauded her wildly without hesitation. They were married directly after World War II. Florence also attended business school and worked for the steel union in Pittsburgh. Together, she and her husband raised six loving children. One child, Bernadette F. Sebesta, preceded her in death. Florence is survived by her children, in order of birth: Mary Margaret (Dr. Julius) Redling, Charles F. (Judith D.) Sebesta, John A. (Anne) Sebesta, David O. (Debbie) Sebesta, and Jerome T. (Kimberly D.) Sebesta, along with four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Florence is the sister of Andrew (Norma) Spisak, the late Mary (Charles) Gegick and the late Raymond Spisak.

During her life, she loved her Lord, her husband and her family. She enjoyed and celebrated every birthday and holiday, especially Easter and Christmas, and always made them special for her family and friends. Florence enjoyed seeing her grandchildren and spoiled them with love during their youth. She also enjoyed traveling and was a great cook. When her husband passed, she remained at home up until the last three years of her life. She then enjoyed the community at Paramount Senior Living, located in Bethel Park, PA.

She was very much loved by everyone and will be dearly missed. Friends will be received at John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227, Friday 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral Prayer on Saturday morning at 9:15.

    My mother (Esther Mortelette Specht) and your mother were lifelong friends; they didn't see each other much but corresponded the old fashioned way through beautiful letters. She was in my mother's wedding and I saw her at my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Lost my mother at 76 but I know how much she loved your mom❤️. Nice memory

    We were blessed to have met Florence in her later years. After our first meeting we wrote to each other. Through our letters we got to know each otherâ??s history and lives. She was such a loving and kind lady. I canâ??t imagine that she ever met a stranger. We will miss her.
