Obituary For Paula Marie (Pierce) Kiray

Age 71, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, of Cranberry Township, formerly of Jefferson Hills.

Loving mother of David (Jennifer) Kiray and Crystal (Paris Johnson) Kiray; devoted Grandma of Abigail Kiray; beloved daughter of the late Charles and Josephine Pierce; sister of Judy (Sonny) Sacco and Linda Kalka. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Paula was a selfless and caring woman who always put others before herself, finding joy in making those around her feel loved and cared for. She had a special place in her heart for the beach, searching for seashells and watching for dolphins. She also treasured the companionship of her beloved chocolate lab, Maggie, and the time spent surrounded by family, especially during holiday gatherings filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. Friends will be received at the John F.

    I am saddened by the loss of my cousin Paula. I am thankful that she made the world a brighter place. My first memory of Paula is of her as a majorette on the field at Wallace school. She was throwing a baton in the air and catching it. She did it with joy! I didn't stay in touch with her over the years and i wish I had. I pray Gods blessing and comfort on all of you her family and friends during this time of grief and loss. Thomas Pierce
