FADGEN SISTER JANE Sister Jane Fadgen, (Sister M. Edith) a Pittsburgh Sister of Mercy for 58 years, died at the Convent of Mercy on January 9, 2018. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, she was 76 years old. Daughter of John F. and Louise E. (Lake) Fadgen, Sister Jane entered the Sisters of Mercy from St. Titus, Aliquippa, PA in 1959 and made final vows in 1965. Sister Jane received a BS degree in Education from Mount Mercy College (now Carlow University). She taught and served as principal at area Catholic schools, such as St. Mary's, 46th Street, Our Lady of Fatima, Hopewell Township, St. Maurice Elementary School, St. Regis, North American Martyrs and St. Paul Cathedral. Sister Jane worked in parish social ministry at St. Joseph, Verona and St. Raphael, Pittsburgh. Sister Jane was a member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council and a recipient of the Manifesting the Kingdom Award. According to Sister Barbara Anne Quinn, Sister Jane was first of all a "friend." "No matter where you were with her she always ran into someone who she called my friend…even once when she walked down a street in Ireland!" The 2nd thought might be "Sister Jane can help! Get Sister Jane!" She came to the Sisters of Mercy September 7, 1959, with an intense desire to serve God through his people. She was grateful for the gifts He had given her and shared them throughout her life with an unlimited joy and gladness and a smile that warmed your heart as it lit up the room. Her family, community, friends and co-workers knew that she could be counted on to take on a project and see it to the end. She could also be counted on to celebrate with them when the occasion arose! She held many titles and positions both in the schools, parish life and in the diocese. She valued her fourth Vow "to serve the poor, sick and uneducated," and no task was too small if it would help someone who needed help! Jane probably never met a person whom she didn't consider her friend! When you remember Sister Jane, think of how much fun was had at the many celebrations at home, at work, after community meetings, and even at the beach, ones we shared with her after the work was done and there was time to rest. When you remember Jane, remember her smile and know she will always be your friend. Preceded in death by her parents; and brothers, Kevin and John. Sister Jane is survived by her brothers, James of Pittsburgh, Jerome of Plantation, FL, and Joseph of Falls Church, VA; as well as many nieces and nephews. Friends will be received Thursday, January 11, 2018 from 4-8 p.m. with a wake service at 7:30 p.m. at the Convent of Mercy, 3333 Fifth Avenue. Visitation until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 12, 2018 in the Chapel at the Convent of Mercy, followed by interment in St. Xavier Cemetery, Latrobe. Arrangements entrusted to the EDWARD P. KANAI FUNERAL HOME, 500 Greenfield Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sisters of Mercy, 3333 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213 or Carlow University Scholarship Fund. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

LEONARD GLORIA GEORGE (FLATEAU) Gloria George (Flateau) Leonard aka “Pinky”, 80, First class of Pittsburgh Women police officers Gloria George (Flateau) Leonard aka “Pinky”, 80, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2017. She was the beloved wife of the late Frank S. Leonard; beloved daughter of the late Michael and Sylvia George; beloved sister of Ethelyn Ankrom, Marjorie O'Brien, the late Joanna Landy, Patricia Wissler, and Janet George; beloved mother of Sonya (Jack) Buckman, Lynn Langford, Davin (Joori) Flateau and Sydney Frederick; also survived by her 12 grandchildren who were the center and joy of her life and a multitude of nephews and nieces. Gloria was born in Pittsburgh, attended Schenley High School and graduated with her RN Certification from West Penn Nursing School in 1958. She moved to Los Angeles, where for 16 years she worked at various hospitals around the San Fernando Valley specializing in CCU/ICU nursing. Gloria returned to Pittsburgh in 1974 with her four children where she continued her career in nursing. In 1976, the City of Pittsburgh offered the first opportunity for women to apply for positions on their police force. As a single mother, the benefits and scheduling was attractive so she applied. As with most of her endeavors, she excelled. She earned one of the highest scores on the civil service exam and apparently was an outstanding marksman as well. Gloria and the other 11 women in that first class were pioneers. Their ground breaking positions taught many reluctant residents and fellow police officers that the women could serve in an equal capacity as their male counterparts and they brought a new perspective to community policing. Upon the completion of her training with the police academy in 1976, she was assigned to the traffic department with a motorcycle as her mode of transportation. She also served as the primary weekend breathalyzer examiner for Allegheny County on the weekends from 1979-1981. Gloria's nursing background was a literally a life saver on the job. She was able to save the lives of some very lucky people with her medical knowledge as she served the public. She was injured on the job in 1982 and left on disability. She enrolled at Point Park (College) University to earn credits for her BS specializing in Occupational Health after leaving the police force. It was her lifelong dream to actually graduate from college and hold a degree. She decided to spend her “retirement” years in Ohio, living in Ashtabula, Madison and Youngstown. She rediscovered her lifelong love of ballroom dancing and nurtured her artistic talents which earned her accolades as an award-winning watercolorist. Changes in her health brought her back to Pittsburgh to be closer to her family that she missed very much. Her life long love of gardening, cooking and appreciation of jazz and classical music lives on through her children. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, January 20th at 11:00 a.m. at the Berean Fellowship Church, 300 Rockfield Circle, Pittsburgh, 15243. For more information, please contact scbuckman@verizon.net. Gloria sponsored a child from Sierra Leone for years through the Childfund organization. She developed a deep and loving relationship not only for this child but his family. Donations can be sent in Gloria Leonard's name to www.childfund.org Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
