Beloved wife for 63 years of the late John Edward “Ed' White; devoted mother of John Edward “Ned” White, Jr. of Milwaukee and St. Thomas, USVI; loving grandmother of Margaret “Maggie” (Daniel) Taylor of St. Thomas, USVI; cherished aunt and great-aunt of more than 60 nieces and nephews; sister of the late Catherine O'Toole Schieb, Eileen Rollins, Margaret Higgins, Patricia Anne Meyer, John Higgins; beloved cousin of the late Mary Mercy “Merce” Corbett Durkin. Her parents were Irish immigrants Margaret (Corbett) and Patrick Higgins and she was a proud Oakland Irish. She attended Cathedral grade school and high school. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1947. She was a member of the Theda Phi Alpha sorority and stayed life-long friends (and bridge partners) with her sorority sisters. One of her TPA sisters and future sister-in-law, Marianne White Buerkle, introduced her to her future husband. An avid and expert bridge player, she played in multiple weekly groups until she entered Asbury Heights. Though a devoted homemaker, she gave generously of her time to many organizations and volunteered to St. Anne's Church in Castle Shannon and to South Hills Catholic HS where her son attended. At St. Anne's, she was famous for running the Attic resale shop at the church's annual fair. The St. Anne's community provided not only faith but numerous friends over the decades. She and her husband were especially fond of their annual cruises throughout the Caribbean with their St. Anne's group. The high point of her summers were the month long annual Irish family reunion/vacations in Stone Harbor and Avalon where she and her sisters and their families shared ‘The Craic' with multiple generations all piled together in a single waterfront home. The family would like to thank the entire loving and caring staff Asbury Heights Senior Community for these past four years where both Dorothy and her husband, Ed, spent their final days. In particular Stacey Schaeffer and her amazing team with Family Hospice, who offered insights, sensitivity, loving care and support during the final transition.

THOMAS EDISON STEWART Thomas Edison Stewart passed away on the morning of November 25th, 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the age of 87. Thomas was born on February 1, 1932, in Birmingham, Pennsylvania, and spent his childhood within Huntingdon County. He graduated from Franklin Township High School. He then spent the majority of his life living in the village of Clinton outside of Freeport, Pennsylvania, alongside the Allegheny River. Thomas was a United States Air Force veteran who served during the Korean War era, eventually reaching the rank of Senior Airman before being honorably discharged with a service-related injury. After his military service, Thomas attended trade school and worked as an industrial engineer in the Western Pennsylvania area, working for companies such as Alcoa, Pittsburgh Forgings, Pittsburgh Nipple Works, Papercraft, General Tire, and General Electric. Thomas was a polymath and homesteader. From a young age, he lived a life of self-sufficiency. In high school, he earned money by trapping foxes who had a governmental bounty. Later in life, he ran his own small business called Stewart Engineering where he would exercise his talent in fiberglass molding and automobile part fabrication. In his spare time, Thomas was a skilled motorcycle racer and enjoyed gardening. He was an experimental aircraft enthusiast and was actively working on designing and building his own airplane until his age caught up to him, prompting him to spend the last years of his life in a Greensburg retirement community. In his final season of life, he enjoyed spending a lot of time with his sons, sipping on an occasional malt liquor, and relaxing. Thomas is survived by his children, Phillip, Thomas, Jr., and Beverly; siblings, Jim and his wife, Dorothy, Nancy; his grandchildren, Gannon, Sabrina, Alaina, Ella, Alexander, and Claire; and his brother-in-law, Harry. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry Charles Stewart and Maria Agnes Kathrine; siblings, Harry Stewart, Bart (Sam) Stewart, and Ricky Stewart Sharrot; and numerous adopted dogs who he loved. Thomas died peacefully of natural causes while under the care of caring nurses and family members. The family has concluded private funeral services. However, the family will be hosting a memorial service at The Clement in Tarentum in the early summer where all are welcome to attend and celebrate Thomas' life.
