June M. (Jacob) Scherer, 95, of Moon Township, passed away on December 25th, 2024 in her home. She was born in Pittsburgh on June 17, 1929, the daughter of the late John & Margaret (Wadas) Jacob. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, William B. “Rip” Scherer, a brother Johnny Jacob, and sisters Beverly Loebig and Sylvia Holdcroft. She is survived by her seven children: William B. “Rip” Scherer Jr. (Michele), of Georgia, Cynthia Scherer of Hopewell Township, Connie Shipp (Steve) of Virginia, Scott Scherer of California, Christine Scherer (Lori Melchiorre) of Carnegie, Sandy Scherer (Myles Nelligan), of Oregon and June Matt (Michael), of California; eleven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

June bestowed the gift of faith on her entire family, always encouraging them, no matter the challenge, to “put it in God’s hands.” She had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. Her abundant love was shown in many ways, but especially when spoiling her family with her legendary Hungarian cooking. She loved to bathe in the warmth of the sunshine on her face and found a child’s delight in the presence of birds and butterflies. Infants and “little ones” would bring a flutter to her heart, as well as a good game of cards, winning on a “scratchie,” or rolling a strike on bowling day.

Arrangements and her viewing were entrusted to Huntsman Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Moon Township. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, December 30th at 10 A.M. in St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church of Moon Township. Everyone is asked to please meet at the church.

Interment will take place at Christ Our Redeemer Cemetery of Pittsburgh, on Monday, December 30th at 3 P.M.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to St. Jude’s and the Wounded Warrior Project.
