Nancy P. Edwards

Edwards, Nancy P., 91, Johnstown, passed away July 5, 2023. Born August 23, 1931 in Pittsburgh, PA. Daughter of John and Alice (Goga) Plaskon. Preceded in death by parents, husband William Robert “Bob” Edwards, brother Richard Plaskon, and brother Buddy Plaskon. Survived by daughters Vicki Williams and Tracy McGrath and son-in-law Frank McGrath, nieces and nephews, and dear friend Janet "Peep" Clark. Nancy was born and lived in Pittsburgh for 43 years, in Swissvale and Plum Boro. She then moved to Johnstown, where she lived in Southmont for 46 years and then Westmont for two. Nancy was a legal secretary in Pittsburgh, and later a medical secretary. In her early years she was an accomplished seamstress, making clothes and doll clothes for her daughters. She also used to garden and can vegetables. She was an avid card player of Canasta, 500, Pinochle, and Wizard. She was a true card shark and was playing Canasta and 500 by the age of five. She was a member of many card clubs, and most recently her beloved "500 Club." She was also an avid player of Mexican Train Dominoes and hosted many a game night with family and friends. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, which often involved games and cards as well. Another favorite was watching her soaps, especially The Young & The Restless, which she watched for 50 years. She also loved to read novels and do puzzle books. And after a reluctant introduction to technology, she became fluent on her computer, iPad, and iPhone. She remained plugged in till the end, often texting, watching videos, and playing word games on them. A lover of Christmas, she made the holidays special for her family every year. And she loved her Hallmark Christmas movies. She was so into the holidays that there were always some Christmas decorations up all year long. The world will not be the same without her kind and generous spirit. The family would like to thank the staff at Arbutus Park Skilled Nursing Care wing for the excellent care that they gave to our mother in the six weeks she was a resident there. They would also like to thank the physical therapy and nursing staff at Laurel View Village for their excellent care during several rehabilitation stays in the past two years. The family will receive friends on Monday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm at Moskal and Kennedy Colonial Funeral Home, 219 Ohio Street, Johnstown, PA 15902, and the funeral will be held at 11:00 am Tuesday with Rev. Nila Cogan, officiating. Interment Grandview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers you can donate to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
