Irene Gianiodis Gartley, 93, of Hopewell Township, passed away on March 11th, 2025 at Heritage Valley Beaver.

She was born in Aliquippa on July 1st, 1931, the youngest of three daughters (Mary Stakias, Alice Valiga) and a daughter of the late James and Afrodite Gianiodis, who immigrated to the United States at the turn of the 20th century from Chios Island, Greece. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Carl T. Gartley.

As a young child, Irene attended Greek school on Baker Street in Aliquippa. She spoke fluent Greek which she used to converse with her parents, sisters and acquaintances. As children, those who knew her always knew when she started speaking Greek with her mom or especially her sisters, it was about something that they didn’t need to know about. It was an upbringing that they’ll cherish forever.

Irene graduated from Aliquippa High School with the class of 1949. She worked the counter at the Cozy Corner in Aliquippa and National Electric in Ambridge. Most of all, she was a loving housewife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was also a great cook. She was also a member of the Ohio United Presbyterian Church of Hopewell.

A special thank you goes out to her daughter, Karen, granddaughters, Kasey and Carolyn, as well as the rest of the family for their love and support.

Many thanks to all the staff at Concordia Villa St. Joseph and Vitas for their compassionate care and hard work.

All services are private. Arrangements have been entrusted to the branch of Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Interment took place at Woodlawn Cemetery of Aliquippa.

Jeffrey J. Kypta, 53, of Independence Township, passed away unexpectedly on March 10th, 2025.

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was preceded in death by his dearly loved maternal grandparents, Dolores and Earl Johnson, Norton Krovitsky, and his in-laws, George and Louise Summerville. He is survived by his wife, Raeleen, his children, Chad and Kelly, his Aunt Debbie whom he dearly loved, his sister-in-law, Becky (Ken) Villella of Ambridge, dear friends, Chad Lane and Greg Congdon, and his forever sister-in-law, Tammi Rock Marshall. Jeffrey’s early life was marked by achievement and camaraderie. Jeffrey was a 1989 graduate of Hopewell High School, where he exhibited both athletic prowess and leadership, lettering in football and track. His passion for teamwork and excellence carried over to his college years at Clarion University, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing in 1993 and forged lifelong friendships as a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

On February 5th, 2000, Jeffrey was united in marriage to Raeleen L. Summerville Kypta. Together, their love blossomed with the birth of their two children, Chad and Kelly, who were his pride and joy. He instilled in them the values of hard work, integrity and the importance of family.

His professional life was characterized by dedication and innovation. His early years saw him shine as a youth model, gracing runways and print commercials with his charisma. Later, he served at Eaton Corporation in Moon Township for 17 years with distinction before bringing his expertise to Columbia Gas as an Information Technology Manager.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Jeffrey was a man of diverse interests and talents. His love for the outdoors was evident in his barrel races with his horse Freedom, and in the quiet patience of his fishing expeditions. He was a certified rescue scuba diver master and instructor at Pitt who shared his knowledge and passion for the underwater world with many aspiring divers. He was also an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan who never missed a game.

His resourcefulness and skill were also on display in the home he proudly constructed with his own hands, which was a testament to his craftsmanship and the warmth and stability he provided for his family. His love for animals shone through in the care he gave to his Golden Retriever, Cooper, his cat, Rufus, and his feathered friends; six chickens and two turkeys, who all brought additional joy and laughter to his household.

The family will receive friends on Friday, March 14th from 2- 4 p.m. and 6 – 8 p.m. at Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, where services will be held on Saturday, March 15th at 11 a.m. with the Reverend Philip Bottomley of the Prince of Peace Anglican Church of Hopewell Township officiating. Private interment will take place at John Anderson Memorial Cemetery.
