HARTSTOWN, Pennsylvania (MyValleyTributes) – Linda Jo Royal, 74, of Hartstown, died peacefully on Monday, February 3, 2020 surrounded by family after a brief and intense fight with cancer.

Linda was born on September 11, 1945, in Langley Fields, Virginia.

She graduated from Mercer High School in the class of ’63 and again from the Mercer County Vocational Technical School LPN program in 1981.

She worked as a nurse at St. Paul’s nursing home in Greenville up until her retirement.

Linda was a wonderfully profane woman, with a keen sense of humor, deeply devoted to her family, friends and pets. She loved music, concerts and dancing and in the end she requested everything from the blues to heavy metal be played…so eighties metal it was. She also requested a margarita and a bottle of Corona to accompany it. She was also a profound person and while she loved her lifelong friends, she loved all of her young friends as well and that helped keep her young and aware. Even in the darkness of her final days, Linda’s smile could light a room.

Linda loved her family and was able to hang on until she could see her great-grandson, Liam, turn six.

Linda had a career as a nurse, her daughter, Christine and granddaughter, Jordan followed in her footsteps becoming nurses as well.

She loved to travel and could be packed and ready at the drop of a hat. She was willing to jump in the car and go anywhere, usually to see family and many close friends spread throughout the United States.

Linda had a love of current events and the discourse that went along with them. She also loved pranks, puns and jokes and she had a comedian’s sense of timing coupled with the perspective of someone who grew up in the sixties. Her love of journaling and writing letters kept the words coming. Linda maintained that sense of humor up until the very end.

Linda Jo Royal became the matriarch of the Reichel family upon the death of her mother, Frieda Kinard-Reichel on March 17, 1989 and she held that role for 31 years until her death Monday, February 3, 2020. In her last days and diminished capacity, she made it a point to remind everyone: “We are family” and after just two weeks of care at the the Crawford County Care Home, most of the caregivers were calling her “Nana”.

Linda is survived by her husband, Jeff Royal; her great-granddaughter, Jordan Herrick and her husband, Matt Herrick and their son, Liam T. Herrick, of Meadville; her son, Tim Torma and wife, Elizabeth Torma and their children, Claudia, Sophie, Claire and Brody of Lawrenceville, Georgia; her sisters, Susan Anuskewic of Castle Dale, Utah, Janet Fabyanic and her husband, Paul Fabyanic, of Espyville, Pennsylvania and Barbara Dishman and her husband, James Dishman, of Hadley, Pennsylvania; her brothers, Jeff Reichel of Suwanee, Georgia and James Reichel and Vicki Reichel, of Bremerton, Washington; along with seven nieces and nephews and many in-laws, relations and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Strayhaven Animal Shelter, 94 Donation Road, Greenville, PA 16125.

A Celebration of Life for Linda Jo will be held Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. in Greenville VFW, 54 Conneaut Lake Road, Greenville, Pennsylvania.

GREENVILLE, Pennsylvania (MyValleyTributes) – Eleanor M. Lozinski, 89, of The Grove at Greenville, Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania, passed away at 5:50 a.m. on Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at the nursing home.

She was born in Wilcox, Pennsylvania on May 12, 1930 to the late Peter and Antonia “Tonka” (Feikles) Padasak.

She resided in Wilcox most of her life before moving to Greenville, Pennsylvania in 1994 to be closer to her family.

Eleanor was married to Stanley F. Lozinski on November 22, 1958 and he preceded her in death on October 20, 2015.

Once she started her family, she became a stay-at-home mom devoting all her attention to her children, husband, brothers, sisters, neighbors and household chores.

She was a member of St. Michael Roman Catholic Church, Greenville and previously a member of Holy Cross Church in Wilcox.

Her spare time was spent volunteering to help others with life’s practical needs, be it ironing, laundry, housecleaning, babysitting, baking or praying. She was a role model for others with regard to her hard-working spirit and exemplary displays of kindness and forgiveness! Her greatest gift was the ability to make others smile–the twinkle in her eye, her love of people (especially children) and her humorous comments. She was dearly loved by all the caring and compassionate staff who interacted with her at The Grove. Her three grandchildren were a special blessing in her life–giving her great joy. They in turn adored her.

Eleanor is survived by two daughters, Phyllis A. Semroc and her husband, Gary, of Greenville and Marsha L. Quarles and her husband, Steve, of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; a son, Mark M. Lozinski and his wife, Regina, of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania; a brother, Lawrence Padasak of New York and three grandchildren, Leah Seman and her husband, Brad, Kyle Semroc and Nicole Meckes and Samantha Lozinski.
