I will always remember your Mother's kind, smiling face and especially the day I ran into her at Giant Eagle, a few days before Thanksgiving. She was pushing a grocery cart full of loaves of bread to make stuffing because the gang was coming for dinner at their new house in Whitehall. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Peace to all, Bonnie Rogan February 26, 2026 So Sorry to Hear about your Mom Sandy. Always involved many activities at SS School always Great Memories My Prayers are with you and all the Sokacs. Patrick Cunningham. Lancers for Life😀 February 26, 2026 Praying for peace and comfort for the entire family. I haven't seen Mrs. Sokac in probably 40 years, but I will always remember Sunday dinners at the Brownsville Road house. Best. Sauce. Ever. She was always smiling (unless she was giving that "sideway glance" that meant "Oh really?") Her faith is now sight. Sheri (Mason) Smith February 25, 2026 I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother.She was a neighbor for so many years and someone I visited with many times over the years. Our dog, Lupin loved her and always looked to see if she was outside. I was also her Eucharistic minister till she went to the nursing home. She was a very special lady. Pat Woods February 24, 2026 Sokac Family, So many childhood memories include your family. I will always remember your Mom with a smile. Prayers for you all at this difficult time. Dee Ladley Hurrell February 24, 2026 An ever-present smile that made one feel at ease, a hearty laugh that had us laughing right along with her, a kind heart that was always welcoming and understanding. Mary Catherine, my dear cousin, exhibited all those characteristics and so much more. So yes, while we grieve, we also celebrate a life lived to the fullest......a family raised with love and care. Thank you so much for watching after my parents for all the years in our absence. I will miss our all too infrequent, but treasured, conversations. May God keep you, and all of the Sokac clan in his loving care. Jonathan and Judy Fabio February 23, 2026 My deepest condolences to the entire Fabio/Sokac family. Helen Fabio Lavine and family February 23, 2026 I have known Mrs Sokac for about 45 years and have never known her to not be smiling. Always happy and always fun to be around. She will be missed by her huge Family and circle of Friends. May she RIP with the Lord. February 23, 2026 To all of MaryCatherines entire family. When someone you love becomes a memory those memories become treasures. Savor them all. Pat Recker February 23, 2026 Rest in piece sweet lady. You were the most loving and caring woman. I will miss our phone calls and visits so much. Your faith in God was amazing. I feel so blessed to have been a small part of your amazing life.
