JOHN McCOLLISTER Dr. John McCollister, a resident of Las Vegas, died on December 19, 2019, following almost eight and a half decades of living life with gusto. Born in 1935 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he became a life-long fan of baseball and the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact, he attended a try-out camp with hopes of making the team as a pitcher but was eventually cut, in his words, “because of a few bad breaks and an amazing lack of talent.” He earned his BA in history from Capital University and his M. Div. at Trinity Lutheran Seminary. He then pastored Lutheran congregations in Freeland and Lansing, Michigan. He completed his studies for a Ph.D. in communications from Michigan State University. He was married for nearly 50 years to his college sweetheart, Beverly, who passed away from cancer in 2010. Together, they built a wonderful life together with many adventures. Resulting from this union are three children, Beth (Steve) Armogida, Amy (Bryan) McDaniel, Mike (Debbie) McCollister, and three grandchildren, Olivia (Brent) Picard, Audra Irvine and Canon McDaniel. Later, he married his best friend, Sarah Katherine, who became and remained the love and inspiration of his life. As a private pilot he enjoyed taking cross-country trips in his single-engine plane. Dr. McCollister received several honors in his life. In 1982 he was invited to deliver the official Lincoln Day Address in Washington, D.C. On several occasions he was asked to sing the national anthem prior to Major League Baseball games in Detroit and Minneapolis. His prayer - “A Baseball Invocation” - was placed on display in Baseball's Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York. Three interests later consumed his attention: the law, teaching and writing. In 1974 he was appointed as an arbitrator for the federal government and the State of Florida during which time he conducted more than 700 hearings. His teaching assignments included professorships at Olivet College, Bethune-Cookman College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Dr. McCollister earned a national reputation through his writing of books and articles. For several years he was a regular contributor to The Saturday Evening Post plus a variety of regional magazines and newspapers. His 25 published books included The Baseball Book of Why, The Bucs! The Story of the Pittsburgh Pirates, The Tigers and Their Dens, The Christian Book of Why, Writing for Dollars, and God and the Oval Office. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be sent to the Pittsburgh Pirates Alumni Association or to the church of choice. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

MARTHA PAULINE DEWOSKY Affectionately known as “Gammy”, 86, passed peacefully with her beloved family by her side on Wednesday, December 25, 2019. Gammy was born on February 12, 1933 in Rock Glen, Pennsylvania, one of four children of George and Anna Bloschock. She always talked fondly of her childhood – being raised on the family farm, selling candy at the family's gas station, and cheering at Black Creek High School. She married her high school sweetheart, Larry Dewosky, on August 16, 1952. The two had a beautiful life together, raising their four children, Susan, Karen, Jeff, and John Paul, in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. After years of marriage and wonderful memories, Larry passed on February 20, 1995. Gammy then dedicated her sole being to her children and grandchildren. She always took pride in her Pennsylvania roots, especially as a tried and true Pittsburgh sports fan, being a Steelers season ticket holder since the mid-1960s; however, she relocated to Huntersville, North Carolina in 2013 to be closer to her family. She spent her remaining years living life to the fullest. Her beloved Larry's favorite Christmas song was “I'll Be Home for Christmas” – a perfect anthem to celebrate their reunion as Gammy went to rejoin him and our Lord on Christmas Day. Gammy lived her life for everyone else but herself, as God calls us to do. She had a special way of making every person she met feel like they were the most important person to her – whether that was a life-long friend or the students at the elementary school she volunteered at. Her family was her everything, and she was everything to her family. There is nothing she loved more than bragging about her family's many accomplishments. Her humorous sayings, charismatic spirit, and selfless heart will forever live on. She is survived by her children, Susan (and Peter) Vardoulis, Karen (and Michael) Nestor, Jeff Dewosky, and John (and Suzanne) Dewosky; her grandchildren, Alissa (and Vic) Stramenga, Brandon (and Kim) Dewosky, Kira Vardoulis, Teryn Vardoulis, JD Dewosky, Derek Dewosky, Taylor Dewosky, Becca Dewosky, Maria Dewosky, and Teresa Dewosky; and her great-grandchildren, Caden Stramenga, Weston Stramenga, Owen Dewosky, and Alayna Dewosky. She is also survived by her sister, Michaeline Bloschock; and many nieces, nephews, and other loved ones. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Anna Bloschock; her husband, Larry Dewosky; and her brothers, George and Jimmy Bloschock. Family and close friends will be celebrating Gammy's life at the GENE H. CORL, INC. FUNERAL CHAPEL AND CREMATION SERVICES OF MONROEVILLE, 4335 Northern Pike (412-372-2100) on Thursday, January 2, 2020 from 4-8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial at North American Martyrs on Friday, January 3, 2020 at 10:30 a.m., followed by her burial at Good Shepherd Cemetery. www.corlfuneralchapel.com.
