NANCY RITA (WHALEN) (KLEIN) WALLACE Of Forest Hills, formerly of Wilkinsburg and West Mifflin, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 16, 2020.

Beloved wife of the late Charles Chick Wallace and the late Arthur Klein. Loving mother of Thomas (Mary Ann) Klein and Robert (Deb) Klein.

Sister of John Jack (Betty) Whalen. Preceded in death by siblings: Helen Porter, Jean Mantia, James Jim Whalen and William Buck (surviving spouse, Julie) Whalen. A stronger person, you will never meet. Nancy loved her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren meant the world to her. Nancy was proud of her Braddock heritage and was a distinguished graduate of St. Thomas High School. She also looked back with fondness on her previous times living in Wilkinsburg and West Mifflin. It was, however, in her more recent years that her extended family at Juniper Village in Forest Hills provided the joy in her life. She and her family will be forever indebted to them for the loving care and companionship she received from the many kind, thoughtful members of the staff and her loyal and close friends there.
