Marcella “Sis” (Hartwig) Zorn
Marcella ‘Sis’ (Hartwig) Zorn, age 87, Brookline, Pennsylvania passed away on Sunday, October 11, 2015 while surrounded by family at Mon-Valley Hospital.
Every day for 30 years, Sis rode the PAT bus from Brookline to downtown Pittsburgh, where she worked as a Sales Associate at Kaufmann’s and, later, Macy’s.
She took tremendous pride in her work and recounted fondly her adventures in customer service and in public transportation.
She loved her family deeply, even when she got laryngitis.
A devout Catholic, she attended the Church of the Resurrection for as long as she was able.
In the end, Marcella was of sound mind and sharp wit, and her physical ailments were relieved when she was called, after 30 years, to join her beloved husband the late Frederick G. Zorn.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Mary Agnes, and son-in-law, Mark Kampert of Smithfield, Pennsylvania her grandsons: Mark, Matthew and Frederick, of whom she was immensely proud; her great-grandson, Lucas, whom she adored; her youngest brother, Roy Hartwig of Bellevue, Pa.; and her many nieces and nephews.
