Pastor Paul M. Strano, 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on March 30th, 2026, at Allegheny Health Network Wexford Hospital. He was born in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and was raised in the Ambridge and Conway area, where the values of faith, family, and hard work took root in his life and remained with him always. He was a beloved son of the late George and Vee Strano. Paul was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Rebecca (Becky) Tedys Strano, his son, Dan Strano and his wife, Aubrey and his cherished granddaughter, Wynn, his brother, Andy Strano and his wife, Linda of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, his brother, Ralph Strano and his wife, Debbie Beck of Lexington, Kentucky and his sister, Susie Vandergrift and her husband, Mark of Clinton, Pennsylvania. He will be dearly missed by his cherished nieces and nephews, as well as many beloved cousins, all of whom he loved deeply.

Pastor Paul lived a life marked by devotion to God, steadfast love for his family, and a warm presence that touched the lives of many. He faithfully filled the pulpit as the pastor of the New Life Assembly of God Church in Conway. His ministry was a meaningful part of his life, and he was deeply respected for the way he shepherded his congregation with compassion, wisdom, and dedication. He loved all sports and had a special appreciation for the excitement and camaraderie they brought. One of his proudest memories was pitching a doubleheader no-hit softball game, an accomplishment that reflected both his talent and his competitive spirit. He also enjoyed hunting. Whether in the pulpit, with family, or enjoying the activities he loved, he lived with enthusiasm and purpose.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, April 4th from 4-8 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SEVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, who was in charge of his arrangements.
