Mary Theresa Dutkovic

Of Allison Park, passed peacefully on December 11, 2016. Whether you called her Mom, Gram, Grandma Honey, Aunt Honey, Mary or Mere, you were blessed to be a part of her amazing life. Mary was the proud mother of 11 children, 14 grandchildren, 8 great grand children, and was Aunt Honey to many nieces and nephews.

Mary was married to Thomas R. Dutkovic for 51 years before his death in April 2000. She was preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Sue Opalko, her four siblings (John, Frank, Mike, and Betty) and her grandson, Michael. Mary graduated from St. Rosalia High School and then the St. Francis School of Nursing. She worked for many years at St. Francis, West Penn Hospital, and then finishing her career with the Veterans Hospital in Aspinwall.

Mary lived a vibrant and fulfilling life. She loved traveling and staying busy. When she wasnt watching Jeopardy or a Pittsburgh sports team game, she was doing a crossword puzzle or was busy with the many activities she so enjoyed. She loved her roses and was the hospitality chairperson of the Pittsburgh Rose Society. She was the President of the Thistle & Twig Herb society and a member of the Garden Club of McKeesport. She was a long-time volunteer for the St. Bonaventure church and enjoyed any and all performances she could attend from the Tamburitzans.

Anyone who met Mary instantly fell in love with her. She was a described as a pip by many who knew her. To many she was Mom, Gram, Honey, Mary, or Mere. It didnt matter the name she was called, for anyone who was lucky to have her in their life, she will be deeply missed.

Mary is survived by her seven daughters ; Susan Shumar of Johnstown, Cindy Costello (Mike) of Virginia, Kathy Dettling of Shaler, Carol Dutkovic of Sharpsburg, Marcia Claudeo of Jackson, NJ, Amy Jordan (Jim) of Greer, SC and Terry Schmidt (Gary) of McDonald and her four sons; Jeff (Wendy) of Allison Park, Mark (Lisa) of Pittsburgh, Bill (Judy) of Portland OR, and Greg (Gineen) of Valencia along with her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
